It brings together all that has been proposed to date under the respective rubrics of the Uralo-Siberian (Eskimo-Yukaghir-Uralic) hypothesis and the Dene-Yeniseian hypothesis. The evolution of the two parallel research strategies for fleshing out these linguistic links between North America and Asia are compared and contrasted. Although focusing on stringently controlled linguistic reconstructions, the volume draws upon archaeological and human genetic data where relevant.Brill's studies in the indigenous languages of the Americas ;Volume 17.Aleut languageGrammar, ComparativeUralicEskimo languagesGrammar, ComparativeUralicEskimo languagesGrammar, ComparativeYukaghirEskimo-Aleut languagesGrammar, ComparativeUralicEskimo-Aleut languagesGrammar, ComparativeYukaghirNa-Dene languagesGrammar, ComparativeYeniseianUralic languagesGrammar, ComparativeEskimo-AleutYeniseian languagesGrammar, ComparativeNa-DeneYukaghir languageGrammar, ComparativeEskimo-AleutAleut languageGrammar, ComparativeUralic.Eskimo languagesGrammar, ComparativeUralic.Eskimo languagesGrammar, ComparativeYukaghir.Eskimo-Aleut languagesGrammar, ComparativeUralic.Eskimo-Aleut languagesGrammar, ComparativeYukaghir.Na-Dene languagesGrammar, ComparativeYeniseian.Uralic languagesGrammar, ComparativeEskimo-Aleut.Yeniseian languagesGrammar, ComparativeNa-Dene.Yukaghir languageGrammar, ComparativeEskimo-Aleut.419Fortescue Michael662476Vajda EdwardNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910956841803321Mid-Holocene Language Connections between Asia and North America4318406UNINA
