Are these languages 'different' in ways that challenge the fundamental assumptions of historical linguistics? Can subgrouping be successfully undertaken using the Comparative Method? Is the genetic construct of a far-flung 'Pama-Nyungan' language family supportable by classic methods of reconstruction? Contrary to increasingly established views of the Australian scene, this book makes a major contribution to the demonstration that traditional methods can indeed be applied to these languages. These studies, introduced by chapters on subgrouping methodology and the history of Australian linguistic classification, rigorously apply the comparative method to establishing subgroups among Australian languages and justifying the phonology of Proto-Pama-Nyungan. Individual chapters can profitably be read either for their contribution to Australian linguistic prehistory or as case studies in the application of the comparative method. 410 0$aAmsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.$nSeries IV,$pCurrent issues in linguistic theory ;$vv. 249. 606 $aAustralian languages$xClassification$vCongresses 606 $aHistorical linguistics$vCongresses 606 $aLanguage - Classification and evolution$2aiatsiss 615 0$aAustralian languages$xClassification 615 0$aHistorical linguistics 615 7$aLanguage - Classification and evolution. 676 $a499/.15/012 701 $aBowern$b Claire$f1977-$0772541 701 $aKoch$b Harold James$01801844 712 12$aInternational Conference on Historical Linguistics 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956990403321 996 $aAustralian languages$94347241 997 $aUNINA
