Caucasus (Russ. Kavkaz) in the Chechen language has the form: “Kov-ka-az – A Gate of the Voice of Lamb”1. We dedicate it to the memory of his ancestors – knights named in Europe as francs, his descendants - named in Caucasus as dzhigits, their brothers and sisters - Caucasians who walked along this road, gathered and preserved this truth of the highest level during the Modern Age. We dedicate it, also, to our parents and children. The Golden Road to the House of Achish - AchishBeth The Golden Age - the Age of Truth.

    Languages and Early Migration “Language Resources,” Cambridge University Press website Prologue This introduction to languages and early migration is reproduced from the online Language Resources that I created, linked to the website for my book, A History of Humanity. The main essay provides basic definitions on language, then summarizes language-group distribution, history, and debates, concluding with language spreadsheets and references. An example of phylum-level details is shown for Amerind, the original languages of North ands South America. Essay The purpose of this online resource collection is to interpret the place of language in human history. In a simplified presentation of a complex issue, this Introduction begins with concise definitions and descriptions. It traces the logical order of language divergence and displays the major phyla or families going back more than 15,000 years. After summarizing the history of language divergence and movement in six periods, we turn to the problems and debates in language history. These include the effects of “language overlays” as one replaces another, efforts to define “macro-phyla” for very early times, and early maritime migrations. The accompanying files for 14 individual phyla provide descriptions of each Homeland, language migrations over time, maps (which are also available as separate image files), concise spreadsheets showing major subgroups in each phylum, and citations of works on each phylum. In a separate Excel file, the 14 individual sheets each give a restatement of the concise spreadsheet at top and, below, a full spreadsheet showing many of the languages in each phylum. Definitions The elements of language, as understood by linguists, include lexicon (the meanings of words), morphology (the pieces of words and how they are fit together), phonology (the sounds made in any language), and syntax (the organization of lexicon, morphology, and phonology into meaningful sentences).

    Archaeolinguistics As A Way To Overcome The Impasse In Comparative Linguistics Wolodymyr H. Kozyrski1, *, Alexander V. Malovichko2 1The International Physical Encyclopedia Bureau, Mathematical Modeling Laboratory at The Bogolubov Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kiev, Ukraine 2Physics Laboratory, The Lyceum at The National Technical University “KPI”, Kiev, Ukraine [email protected] ABSTRACT The paper exposes some essential points of our one and a half decade research results within new approach to study prehistoric stages of human language development mainly in times of ergaster-erectus domination and reflects our reaction to the protracted conceptual crisis in the comparative linguistics. As a result of fundamentally incorrectly stated goals, most of the researchers artificially limited themselves both by the defined scope of the problems to solve and by the methods used. Becoming tightly tied knot of up to now unsolved intrinsic contradictions, today comparative linguistics needs radical change. We have developed a synthetic approach that has proved its effectiveness. Our model is well aligned with prehistoric data of auxiliary historical disciplines and even IBM Genographic project. The results offer further opportunities for interesting studies.

  • A Study of DOM in Asturian ('Dialectu Vaqueiru')
    journal of language contact 13 (2020) 96-140 brill.com/jlc A Study of DOM in Asturian (‘Dialectu Vaqueiru’) Avelino Corral Esteban Lecturer (Tenure-track Associate Professor) of Linguistics, Department of English Philology, Faculty of Arts, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Madrid, Spain [email protected] Abstract The present paper explores Differential Object Marking in a variety of Asturian (West- ern Iberian Romance) spoken in western Asturias (northwestern Spain). This ancestral form of speech stands out from Central Asturian and especially from Standard Span- ish. For a number of reasons, ranging from profound changes in pronunciation, vo- cabulary, morphology and information structure to slight but very relevant effects on syntax. The main goal of this study is to examine the special marking of direct objects in order to find out what triggers the distribution of Differential Object Marking in this variety. To this aim, this paper will examine, from a variationist perspective, the influ- ence of a number of semantic and discourse-pragmatic parameters on the marking of direct objects in this Western Asturian language as well as in Standard Spanish1 and Central Asturian (which is generally considered the normative variety of Asturian). The results obtained from this comparison will allow us to outline the differences be- tween these three varieties in terms of object marking, shedding more light on the ori- gin and function of Differential Object Marking in Spanish. Keywords Asturian language – Vaqueiru dialect – Differential Object Marking – information structure – topicality – distinguishing function 1 Although Standard (European) Spanish originated in, and has come to be based on, the Cas- tilian dialect more than any other variety, I will use the term ‘Standard Spanish’ throughout the paper for the sake of neutrality.

  • An Amerind Etymological Dictionary
    An Amerind Etymological Dictionary c 2007 by Merritt Ruhlen ! Printed in the United States of America Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Greenberg, Joseph H. Ruhlen, Merritt An Amerind Etymological Dictionary Bibliography: p. Includes indexes. 1. Amerind Languages—Etymology—Classification. I. Title. P000.G0 2007 000!.012 00-00000 ISBN 0-0000-0000-0 (alk. paper) This book is dedicated to the Amerind people, the first Americans Preface The present volume is a revison, extension, and refinement of the ev- idence for the Amerind linguistic family that was initially offered in Greenberg (1987). This revision entails (1) the correction of a num- ber of forms, and the elimination of others, on the basis of criticism by specialists in various Amerind languages; (2) the consolidation of certain Amerind subgroup etymologies (given in Greenberg 1987) into Amerind etymologies; (3) the addition of many reconstructions from different levels of Amerind, based on a comprehensive database of all known reconstructions for Amerind subfamilies; and, finally, (4) the addition of a number of new Amerind etymologies presented here for the first time. I believe the present work represents an advance over the original, but it is at the same time simply one step forward on a project that will never be finished. M. R. September 2007 Contents Introduction 1 Dictionary 11 Maps 272 Classification of Amerind Languages 274 References 283 Semantic Index 296 Introduction This volume presents the lexical and grammatical evidence that defines the Amerind linguistic family. The evidence is presented in terms of 913 etymolo- gies, arranged alphabetically according to the English gloss.

  • A Sketch of North Syrian Economic Relations in the Middle Bronze
    A SKETCH OF NORTH SYRIAN ECONOMICRELATIONS IN THE MIDDLE BRONZE AGE * BY JACK M. SASSON (The University of North Carolina) Northern Syria of the Middle Bronze Age, as known chiefly from the archives of Mari and Alalah VII, slowly graduatedfrom moments of relative chaos (ca. 2I00-I850) to an age of political stability (ca. I850-I625). Under the able leadership of the Yamhadian dynasty, a feudal system of relationship created one entity out of the whole region.') The evidence at our disposal allows us even to imagine a political and economic Pax Yamhadianawhich, beginning before the fall of Mari, lasted until the rise of the Hittite State and the attacks of Hattusilis I (ca. 625). *) The word 'sketch' in the title is chosen for reasons of necessity. Except for brief illuminations from the 'Cappadocian' texts and those from Egypt, heavy reliance had to be placed on the Mari and Alalah VII documents, and then only when they show evidence of foreign interconnection. The archaeology of Middle Bronze (IIa) Syria, in which the Mari age unfolds, has not been very helpful, simply because not enough North Syrian sites of that age have been excavated. The reports from the 'Amuq region (phase L), 'Atsanah (levels XVI-VIII), testify to a wide- spread use of a painted ware rounded of form, narrow necked, buff, with simple geometric designs (cross-hatching in triangles) within bands (cf. Iraq, I5 (I953), 57-65; Chronologiesin Old WorldArchaeology, p. I72). The material from Ugarit of that age being yet mostly unpublished, one looks forwardto the reports of excavation at Tilmen-Hiiyik, which is probably the site of ancient Ibla (for now, see Orientalia 33 (1964) 503-507; AJA 68 (1964), I55-56; 70 (966), I47).

  • 1 African Language Classification Beyond Greenberg

He has not contented himself with a general survey, as all his predecessors, Humboldt University Berlin and Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History Jena including myself, have done, but has gone into considerable detail; in each single case he gives his proofs in word-lists, in tabulated formative elements, and also on sketch maps; he does not 1.1 Before and after Greenberg (1963) quote all his sources, which would have been practically impossible; nor is it essential, since they are known to the expert.

  • Joseph H. Greenberg
    Joseph H. Greenberg PAUL NEWMAN Joseph H. Greenberg, undoubtedly the most important African linguist in the sec- ond half of the 20th century, passed away on May 7, 2001. Greenberg was born in Brooklyn, New York, on May 28, 1915. He received his B.A. (Phi Beta Kappa) from Columbia University in 1936, and his Ph.D. in anthropology from Northwest- ern University in 1940. His Ph.D. thesis was on traditional, non-Islamic Hausa religion. During World War II (1940–1945), he served in the United States Army Signal and Intelligence Corps. After the war, he spent a year on a Social Science Re- search Council Fellowship and then took a teaching position in Anthropology at the University of Minnesota (1946–48). This was followed by an appointment at Columbia University (1948–62). While at Columbia, he served for five years as co- editor of the journal Word. In 1962 Greenberg moved to Stanford University, where he was Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics. He officially retired from Stan- ford in 1985, but remained professionally active until the time of his death. Greenberg was an unusually prolific and wide-ranging scholar with some 250 publications to his credit. His initial reputation was established through his mon- umental work in the area of African linguistic classification. This was published first as a series of articles in the late 1940s and then ultimately in reworked and revised form as The Languages of Africa (1963), a work that thirty-five or more years later still stands as the cornerstone of African language classification.

  • The Structure of Silence: a Look at Children's Comprehension Of
    The structure of silence: A look at children’s comprehension of sluicing* Victoria Mateu and Nina Hyams University of California, Los Angeles 1. Introduction Sluicing –a construction in which all of a constituent question is elided except for the wh- phrase – has been the object of much attention in the syntactic literature since Ross’s seminal 1969 paper. An example of sluicing is given in (1), where the angled brackets enclose (pre-theoretically) unpronounced material. (1) Someone came to visit me, guess who <_ came to visit me>. Despite this vast literature, there remain several competing theoretical analyses. The goal of this paper is to provide empirical evidence from acquisition data regarding the syntactic status of the elided material in sluices. Specifically, we show that children exhibit a subject > object asymmetry, as they show in other (overt) Ā-movement constructions, arguably due to the greater difficulty of establishing a dependency between the moved object and its based-generated position, across the intervening subject. 1.1 Theoretical background Various theoretical accounts have been proposed for sluicing, and ellipsis more generally. Analyses differ primarily with respect to the issue of how much structure is posited in the ellipsis site and whether there is movement or not. Among the analyses that posit structure, two approaches can be identified. The first, originating with Ross (1969) and pursued more recently by Merchant (2001) analyzes sluicing as involving movement of a wh-phrase out of TP, followed by deletion of that node at PF; this derivation is schematized in (2a). The primary support for this analysis comes from the fact that across a wide range of grammatical dependencies the ‘remnant’ wh-element in sluicing shows behavior similar to its counterpart in full non-elliptical structures.

  • The Proto-Sapiens Prohibitive/Negative Particle *Ma
    THE PROTO-SAPIENS PROHIBITIVE/NEGATIVE PARTICLE *MA PIERRE J. BANCEL, ALAIN MATTHEY DE L’ETANG ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE IN PREHISTORY (CAMBRIDGE, MA); ASSOCIATION D’ETUDES LINGUISTIQUES ET ANTHROPOLOGIQUES PREHISTORIQUES (PARIS, FRANCE); AND JOHN D. BENGTSON ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE IN PREHISTORY (CAMBRIDGE, MA); EVOLUTION OF HUMAN LANGUAGE PROJECT (SANTA FE INSTITUTE, NM) We report here on a lexical root, very widespread in diverse languages worldwide, includ- ing more than 50 ancient languages, long-isolated languages, and proto-languages. Most of these rely on uncontroversial reconstructions, while others, from Proto-Nilo-Saharan to Proto-Trans-New Guinea through Proto-Austric and Proto-Amerind, go back to far more than 10,000 years ago and cover all continents. We argue that this lexical root may only have been part of the ancestral language common to all modern humans. 1. INTRODUCTION We will document here an ancestral word root, which is found in such a huge number of language families across all continents that it can only be a common inheritance from the original lexicon of our remote Sapiens ancestors. Following the common linguistic custom of naming the ancestral language of a family by the name of this family with the prefix Proto- (Proto-Germanic, Proto- Algonquian, Proto-Bantu, etc.), we call the ancestral language of our species Proto-Sapiens. Proto-Sapiens is not a newcomer in historical linguistics: building upon the pioneering work of Trombetti (1905), about three dozen Proto-Sapiens words have recently been identified (Bengtson & Ruhlen 1994), making use of the massive linguistic materials and comparative works that have accumulated during the 20th century.

  • Indo-European Laryngeals in Afroasiatic Perspective1
    Václav Blažek Masaryk University, Brno 1 Indo-European laryngeals in Afroasiatic perspective The paper represents an attempt to verify the reconstruction of laryngeal consonants in Proto-Indo-European through external comparison with Afro-Asiatic languages. Working from a standpoint of genetic relatedness between Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic, the author has assembled a set of 80 binary comparisons that contain laryngeals both in their Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic constituents. Analysis of the evidence leads to the conclu- sion that (a) Indo-European *H1 generally corresponds to Afro-Asiatic *; (b) Indo-European *H2 and *H3 correspond to all the other Afro-Asiatic laryngeals, with the much rarer *H3 pos- sibly representing just a positional variant of *H2 . Keywords: Indo-European, Afro-Asiatic, Nostratic, long-range comparison, laryngeal theory. Dedicated to the memory of Hermann Møller (1850–1923) The authorship of the Laryngeal Theory has been ascribed to Ferdinand de Saussure, who pre- sented his ideas in the book Mémoires sur le systéme primitif des voyelles dans les langues indo- européennes. The monograph was published in Leipzig 1879, when he was 22, and a year be- fore the end of his study at Leipzig University. He proposed that the traditionally recon- structed *ē and *ā should represent a sequence *eA (but without any explanation of the condi- tions differentiating between *ē and *ā) and that the long vowel *ō had to reflect *eO (sic). Already in the following year the Danish scholar Hermann Møller (in his review of the study on Germanic conjugation published in Englische Studien III, 1879[80], 151), introduced the third coefficient sonantique — the term used for the first time by de Saussure — namely *E, causing *eE → *ē, as opposed to *eA → *ā.
