From fieldwork to reconstruction: historical issues in hotspots of linguistic diversity
Journal Publication ResearchOnline@JCUCiucci, Luca
Abstract
[Extract] This special issue aims to explore the advances in historical linguistics that are made possible by the ongoing documentation of underdescribed and endangered languages. Indeed, apart from its contribution to typology, any linguistic description offers data to be analyzed from a diachronic perspective. It hardly needs to be noted that both documentation and historical linguistics significantly contribute to the culture of the communities involved.
