DOLGOPOLSKY, Aharon (intro. Colin Renfrew)

The Nostratic Macrofamily and Linguistic Palaeontology: With an Introduction by Colin Renfrew. (Papers in the Prehistory of Languages).

Cambridge, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, 1998. P/b. xxii+116pp. Appears almost as new. Unused. Clean and tight. Do all or most languages in the world descend from a single proto-language ? And if so what can we tell from linguistic analysis about the speakers of this ancient tongue ? These are the two questions at the heart of this controversial book and the themes clearly outlined by Colin Renfrew in his introduction. The theory of a Nostratic proto-language is not new, but the extremely detailed presentation of historical linguistic evidence provided here is.

GREENBERG, Joseph H.

Indo-European and Its Closest Relatives. (2 Volume Set): The Eurasiatic Language Family. Volume 1 Grammar. Volume 2 Lexicon.

Stanford, Stanford University Press, 2000, 2002. 2 x 8vo. volumes, hardback in original dust-wrappers. 8 tables, 3 maps. Both volumes in very good condition in original dust-wrappers. Owner name neatly inside. Volume one in removable plastic dust-wrapper along with original d.w. The basic thesis of this book is that the well known and extensively studied Indo-European family of languages is but a branch of a much larger Eurasiatic family that extends from northern Asia to North America. Eurasiatic is seen to consist of Indo-European, Uralic-Yukaghir, Altaic (Turkic, Mongolian, and Tungus-Manchu), Japanese-Korean-Ainu (possibly a distinct subgroup of Eurasiatic), Gilyak, Chuckchi-Kamchatkan, and Eskimo-Aleut. The author asserts that the evidence for the validity of Eurasiatic as a single linguistic family, including the vocabulary evidence to be presented in Volume II on semantics, 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.

HARRISON, K. David

When Languages Die the Extinction of the World's Languages and the Erosion of Human Knowledge. Oxford Studies in Sociolinguistics.

New York, Oxford University Press, 2007. As new in as new dust-wrapper. 304pp. With in-text b/w illustrations Used; Like New "It is commonly agreed by linguists and anthropologists that the majority of languages spoken now around the globe will likely disappear within our lifetime. The phenomenon known as language death has started to accelerate as the world has grown smaller. Harrison spans the globe from Siberia, to North America, to the Himalayas and elsewhere, to look at the human knowledge that is slowly being lost as the languages that express it fade from sight. He uses fascinating anecdotes and portraits of some of these languages' last remaining speakers. Harrison's book is a testament not only to the pressing issue of language death, but to the remarkable span of human knowledge and ingenuity" . Hardback.
