How are relationships established between the world's languages?
This is one of the most topical and most controversial questions in
contemporary linguistics. The central aims of the book are to
answer this question, to cut through the controversies, and to
contribute to research in distant genetic relationships. In doing
this the authors aim to: (1) show how the methods have been
employed; (2) reveal which methods, techniques, and strategies have
proven successful and which ones have proven ineffective; (3)
determine how particular language families were established; (4)
evaluate several of the most prominent and more controversial
proposals of distant genetic relationship (such as Amerind,
Nostratic, Eurasiatic, Proto-World, and others); and (5) make
recommendations for practice in future research. This book will
contribute significantly to understanding language classification
in general.
