The Oxford Guide to the Transeurasian Languages provides a
comprehensive account of the Transeurasian languages, and is the
first major reference work in the field since 1965. The term
'Transeurasian' refers to a large group of geographically adjacent
languages that includes five uncontroversial linguistic families:
Japonic, Koreanic, Tungusic, Mongolic, and Turkic. The historical
connection between these languages, however, constitutes one of the
most debated issues in historical comparative linguistics. In the
present book, a team of leading international scholars in the field
take a balanced approach to this controversy, integrating different
theoretical frameworks, combining both functional and formal
linguistics, and showing that genealogical and areal approaches are
in fact compatible with one another. The volume is divided into
five parts. Part I deals with the historical sources and
periodization of the Transeurasian languages and their
classification and typology. In Part II, chapters provide
individual structural overviews of the Transeurasian languages and
the linguistic subgroups that they belong to, while Part III
explores Transeurasian phonology, morphology, syntax, lexis, and
semantics from a comparative perspective. Part IV offers a range of
areal and genealogical explanations for the correlations observed
in the preceding parts. Finally, Part V combines archaeological,
genetic, and anthropological perspectives on the identity of
speakers of Transeurasian languages. The Oxford Guide to the
Transeurasian Languages will be an indispensable resource for
specialists in Japonic, Koreanic, Tungusic, Mongolic, and Turkic
languages and for anyone with an interest in Transeurasian and
comparative linguistics more broadly.
