This volume of essays examines the claim that a linguistic
macrofamily can be identified which includes not only the
Indo-European and Afroasiatic language families but also the
Kartvelian, Uralic,Altaic and Dravidian families. The Nostratic
case was put by Aharon Dolgopolsky in his The Nostratic Macrofamily
and Linguitic Palaeontology , and it is here evaluated critically
by linguists specialising in the language families concerned.
Contents include: The Nostratic Macrofamily (A. Bomhard); Nostratic
Languages: Internal and External Relationship (V. Shevoroshkin);
Beyond Nostratic in Time and Space (G. Decsy); Nostratic and
Linguistic Palaeontology in Methodological Perspective (L.
Campbell); Family Trees and Favourite Daughters (A. McMahon, M.
Lohr & R. McMahon); Linguistis Palaeontology: For and Against
(I. Hegedus); Afroasiatic and the Nostratic Hypothesis (D.
Appleyard); The Dravidian Perspective (K. Zvelebil); Altaic
Evidence for Nostratic (A. Vovin); On Semitohamitic Comparison (R.
Voight); Toward a Future History of Macrofamily Research (D.
