Второй том многотомного исследования «Языки Африки. Опыт построения лексикостатистической классификации» целиком посвящен проблеме исторического статуса восточносуданской семьи языков — крупнейшего из составных компонентов т. н. «нило-сахарской» макросемьи, одного из наиболее спорных языковых объединений, предложенных Дж. Гринбергом в рамках получившей классический статус таксономической модели языков Африки.
Исследование потенциальных генетических и ареальных связей между языками восточносуданской семьи в ...

«Languages of Africa: an attempt at a lexicostatistical classification» has been planned as a multi-volume monograph that aims at a complete, step-by-step re-evaluation of current hypotheses on the genetic classification of most of the languages, currently or until recently spoken on the African continent. The relevance of this task goes far beyond
the current needs and issues of historical linguistics. ...

The paper is the first in a planned two-part series, whose main goals are to conduct a general lexicostatistical survey of the Tuu, or South Khoisan, family of languages; to reconstruct a reliable approximation of the Swadesh wordlist for Proto-Tuu; and to clarify certain as of yet unresolved issues about the internal classification of Tuu ...

The paper is the second part of an extensive study aimed at clarifying the internal relationships within the Tuu (Southern Khoisan) linguistic family of South Africa and reconstructing a reasonably accurate Swadesh wordlist for Proto-Tuu. In this section, I first investigate the issue of extensive areal contact between two languages belonging to two different subgroups ...

This article provides the etymological and structural analysis Ossetic loanwords belonging to two semantic domains “stock-raising” and “horse breeding”. The most part of borrowings finds their sources in North-Caucasian Languages, exactly in concrete subgroups. So, we can understand some historical and ethnographic features attended to problems of migration waves in the “Big Caucasus” geographical area. There are regular phonetic correspondences ...

The article analyzes an areal polysemy ‘earth/year’ in the languages of North America. The distribution of the trait largely coincides with the cultural region of California. Within this area, the polysemy ‘earth/year’ is attested from Molala in the north to Seri in the south. The trait in question is apparently old in Yuman, Chumashan and ...

In this paper, I argue against a recent attempt at re-classifying the small group of Berta languages, spoken in Ethiopia, as being closely related to the geographically adjacent East Jebel group, based on numerous lexical similarities between the two taxa. It is suggested that the best method to determine if these similarities are due to ...

One of the most important issues in modern historical linguistics is that of verifcation of hypotheses of deep level relationship between various linguistic families. Most noncontroversial theories of genetic relationship do not deal with time depths that surpass 5 or 6 thousand years ago, and the classic comparative method is often found insuffcient to reliably ...

The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the Proto-Nivkh accent system and vocalism with the help of loanword analysis and internal reconstruction. It is shown that the place of the Proto-Nivkh accent depended on vowel height and syllable structure. The paper also argues that the unstressed vowel loss, which led to a radical change in Nivkh phonotactics, ...

Книга представляет собой первый том масштабного исследования по созданию новой рабочей модели генетической классификации языков и языковых семей африканского континента, которая могла бы представить серьезную альтернативу для т. н. «стандартной модели» классификации африканских языков, разработанной Дж. Гринбергом более чем полстолетия тому назад и с тех пор неоднократно подвергавшейся критике за недостаточную основательность.

The paper offers a critical analysis of several Afrasian etymologies with presumably “military” semantics, put forward by Alexander Militarev. The conclusion is that these etymologies typically suffer from multiple problems, such as lack of proper attention to the historical typology of semantic shifts and insufficient consideration for the distribution of potential reflexes in daughter languages. ...

This paper analyses a number of morphophonological alternations in the Yukaghir languages with the aim of the internal reconstruction of pre-Proto-Yukaghir. The main focus is on the simplification of complex consonant clusters arising on morphological boundaries between consonant-final root allomorphs and derivational suffixes. The paper also contains a new reconstruction of Proto-Yukaghir and pre-Proto- Yukaghir ...

In the paper, it is argued that, in order to conduct lexicostatistical studies for families whose protolanguages are reconstructed on a step-by-step basis, it is important to define and describe a specific methodology for reconstructing "proto-wordlists" of the Swadesh type. Unlike the most common types of comparative-historical reconstruction, which largely focus on phonetic correspondences, a ...

The paper discusses V. V.

Etymological comparanda for V. V. Tishin’s Bulghar Turkic forms in runic epigraphy are drawn from the Chuvash language as the only living ...

This paper presents evidence of correspondences between Proto-Indo-European roots with voiceless stops and Proto-Uralic roots with back vowels on the one hand, and between Proto-Indo-European roots with voiced aspirated stops and Proto-Uralic roots with front vowels on the other hand. This peculiar correspondence can be explained if we take into account diachronic typological connections between ...

Книга, написанная в жанре диалога с представителями Московской школы ком- паративистики, представляет собой доступное изложение теоретических и методо- логических оснований, на которых оказывается возможной реконструкция древних праязыков, к которым восходит современное языковое разнообразие. Основная цель издания — доходчиво объяснить, чем реконструкция глубоких праязыковых состояний, таких как праностратический или прасино-кавказский, отличается от реконструкции более мелких праязыков, ...

Традиционная классификация уральских языков предполагает последовательное бинарное ветвление сначала на самодийские и финно-угорские языки, затем финно-угорских – на угорские и финно-пермские, затем финно-пермских – на пермские и финно-волжские, и, наконец, финно-волжских – на волжские и финно-саамские. Признание за промежуточными узлами в этом дереве генетического статуса (т.е. наличия соответствующих праязыков) предполагает, что эти праязыки должны были ...
