  • On the Genetic Kinship of the Languages Tikúna and Yurí Fernando Orphão De Carvalho1
    On the genetic kinship of the languages Tikúna and Yurí Fernando Orphão de Carvalho1 Resumo A proposta de relação genética entre a língua Tikúna, atualmente considerada como uma língua isolada, e a já extinta língua Yurí é analisada aqui de forma mais sistemática do que se encontra na literatura publicada. Nossa conclusão é de que as evidências de um grupo Yurí-Tikúna foram subestimadas e que se configuram como um forte indício de relação genética. Subsidiariamente, este artigo pretende expor de forma condensada as propostas já elaboradas de classificação genética da língua Tikúna. Palavras-chave: Classificação linguística, filiação genética, Tikúna, Yurí, línguas isoladas. Abstract We subject the hypothesis that Tikúna - nowadays considered an isolated language – is related to the now extinct Yurí language to a more systematic analysis than one finds anywhere else in the published literature. We conclude that the evidence for the Yurí-Tikúna group has been underappreciated and that it points strongly to a genetic connection. The subsidiary goal of this paper is to stand as a condensed statement of the proposals already made for the genetic classification of the Tikúna language. Keywords: Language classification, genetic affiliation, Tikúna, Yurí, linguistic isolates. 1. Introduction and General Considerations2 The linguistic landscape of South America forms a bewildering scenario and offers formidable problems for the historical linguist. Added to the fact that the New World harbors more diversity of language groups than any of the other four continents (Nettle 1999, Campbell 1997), the scattered and interwoven distribution of such units as well as the large number of language isolates makes this landmass a unique testing ground for the methods of detecting and justifying claims of common ancestry among languages (Campbell 1997, Dixon & Aikhenvald 1999).

Universidade de São Paulo. São Paulo, São Paulo, Brasil Abstract: In South America’s lowlands, it was believed that fermentation processes for amylaceous substances were performed only with the inoculation of salivary amylase in the mash. In 2004, Henkel identified a unique fermentation process that was not previously known in the Americas: fermentation performed with the inoculation of an amylolytic mold, Rhizopus sp. Amylolytic fermentation is an important way to transform and enrich carbohydrates and is widely used in the eastern and southeastern Asia for the enhancement of beverages and food. To verify if this process was unique, extensive research has been carried out by analyzing reports by missionaries, travelers, and anthropologists to search for hints of a larger diffusion of such processes.

Lyle Campbell University of Hawai‘i Mānoa DOI: https://doi.org/10.1387/asju.20195 Abstract The question of how many language families there are in the world is addressed here. The reasons for why it has been so difficult to answer this question are explored. The ans- wer arrived at here is 406 independent language families (including language isolates); however, this number is relative, and factors that prevent us from arriving at a definitive number for the world’s language families are discussed. A full list of the generally accepted language families is presented, which eliminates from consideration unclassified (unclas- sifiable) languages, pidgin and creole languages, sign languages, languages of undeciphe- red writing systems, among other things. A number of theoretical and methodological is- sues fundamental to historical linguistics are discussed that have impacted interpretations both of how language families are established and of particular languages families, both of which have implications for the ultimate number of language families. Keywords: language family, family tree, unclassified language, uncontacted groups, lan- guage isolate, undeciphered script, language surrogate. 1. Introduction How many language families are there in the world? Surprisingly, most linguists do not know. Estimates range from one (according to supporters of Proto-World) to as many as about 500.

  • Genomic and Climatic Effects on Human Crania from South America: a Comparative
    Genomic and Climatic Effects on Human Crania from South America: A Comparative Microevolutionary Approach Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brianne C. Herrera, M.A. Graduate Program in Anthropology The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Mark Hubbe, Advisor Clark Spencer Larsen Debbie Guatelli-Steinberg Jeffrey McKee Copyrighted by Brianne C. Herrera 2019 Abstract Cranial morphology has been widely used to estimate phylogenetic relationships among and between populations. When compared against genetic data, however, discrepancies arise in terms of population affinity and effects of microevolutionary processes. These discrepancies are particularly apparent in studies of the human dispersion to the New World. Despite the apparent discrepancies, research has thus far been limited in scope when analyzing the relationship between the cranial morphology and genetic markers. This dissertation aimed to fill this void in research by providing a necessary broad comparative approach, incorporating 3D morphological and climate data, mtDNA, and Y-chromosome DNA from South America. The combination of these data types allows for a more complete comparative analysis of microevolutionary processes. Correlations between these different data types allow for the assessment their relatedness, while quantitatively testing microevolutionary models permit determining the congruence of these different data types. I asked the following research questions: 1) how consistent are the patterns of population affinity when comparing different regions of the crania to each type of DNA for populations in South America? 2) If they are not consistent, why not? How are different evolutionary forces affecting the affinities between them? Collectively, both the cranial and genetic data demonstrated patterns of isolation-by-distance when viewed from a continent-wide scale.

  • Sampling and Genealogical Coverage in WALS
    Sampling and genealogical coverage in WALS HARALD HAMMARSTRÖM Abstract WALS was designed with the goal of providing a “systematic answer” to ques- tions about the geographical distribution of language features. In order to achieve this goal, there must be an adequate sample of the world’s languages included in WALS. In this article we investigate to what extent WALS fulfils its aim of maximizing the genealogical diversity of the samples of languages included. For this we look at the core-200 sample (included on almost all maps) as well as the 1,370 sample for the feature OV/VO word order (the sam- ple with the largest number of languages). The genealogical diversity in these samples is compared against a database of “what could have been done”, i.e., a database of which language families have adequate descriptive resources for the task at hand. In the 200 sample, we find a highly significant over- inclusion of Eurasian languages at the expense of South American and Papuan languages. In the 1,370 sample, we find a highly significant overinclusion of North American languages at the expense of South American and Papuan lan- guages. It follows that statistics based on these WALS samples cannot be used straightforwardly for sound inferences about the distribution of the features in question. Keywords: genealogical classification, linguistic atlas, sampling, word order 1. Introduction WALS was designed with the goal of providing a “systematic answer” to ques- tions about the geographical distribution of language features (Comrie et al. 2005: 1).
