Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book considers how languages have traditionally been divided into families, and asks how they should be classified in the future. It tests current theories and hypotheses, shows how new ideas can be formulated, and offers a series of demonstrations that the new techniques applied to old data can produce convincing results. It will be of great practical interest to all those concerned with the classification and diffusion of languages in fields such as comparative linguistics,. archaeology, genetics, and anthropology. - ;This book considers how languages have traditionally been divided int |

Titolo |
The true faith of the gospel of peace contended for, in the spirit of meekness [[electronic resource] ] : and the mystery of salvation (Christ within, the hope of glory) vindicated in the spirit of love, against the secret opposition of John Bunyan a professed minister in Bedfordshire. Or, an answer to his book called, Some Gospel truths opened, &c. Wherein also he hath mixed many lyes and slanders, and hath secretly gain-sayed the way of truth, and doctrine of salvation, under the account of error and heresie, as the generation of chief priests ever did. Or a return of truth in simplicity, in the deniall of his false accusations, and his dark vaile of false reproaches taken off, and the innocency of the upright appearing. With some queries given forth for him to answer, that truth may further appear, and deceit may be ashamed, where ever it is found. / / By one who hath chosen rather to suffer affliction with the despised people, then to enjoy the pleasures of sin.
