Description

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.

Sinor).
