This monograph confronts many of the methodological and substantive issues raised but never fully resolved by Brandstetter. In an effort to reassess the value of his work for contemporary linguistics the author examines Brandstetter's methods and results, and applies a modified from of this approach to new material. The study establishes 230 roots based on more than 2,560 root tokens in some 117 languages. 410 0$aStudies in language companion series ;$v19. 606 $aAustronesian languages$xRoots 615 0$aAustronesian languages$xRoots. 676 $a499/.2 700 $aBlust$b R.
