Title
Indoeuropean And Its Closest Relatives: The Eurasiatic Language Family, Volume 2, Lexicon,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The basic thesis of this twovolume work (Volume I. Grammar was published in 2000) is that the well known and extensively studied IndoEuropean family of languages is but a branch of a much larger Eurasiatic family that extends from Europe across northern Asia to North America. Eurasiatic is seen to consist of IndoEuropean, UralicYukaghir, Altaic (Turkic, Mongolian, and TungusManchu), JapaneseKoreanAinu (possibly a distinct subgroup of Eurasiatic), Gilyak, Chukotian, and EskimoAleut. The author asserts that the evidence presented in the two volumes for the validity of Eurasiatic as a single linguistic family confirms his hypothesis since the numerous and interlocking resemblances he finds among the various subgroups can only reasonably be explained by descent from a common ancestor. The present volume provides lexical evidence for the validity of Eurasiatic as a linguistic stock. Since some of the relevant etymological material has already been published in the work of some Nostraticists, this volume emphasizes those etymologies involving Ainu, Gilyak, Chukotian, and EskimoAleut, languages generally omitted from Nostratic studies. The Eurasiatic family is itself most closely related to the Amerind family, with which it shares numerous roots. The EurasiaticAmerind family represents a relatively recent expansion (circa 15,000 BP) into territory opened up by the melting of the Arctic ice cap. EurasiaticAmerind stands apart from the other families of the Old World, among which the differences are much greater and represent deeper chronological groupings. The volume includes a classification of Eurasiatic languages, references cited, and semantic and phonetic indexes.
