Condition: Muy bueno. : Este libro explora cómo y por qué las formas y significados de diferentes lenguas pueden parecerse en distintos momentos. Los editores y autores buscan explicar e identificar la relación entre la difusión areal y el desarrollo genético de las lenguas, así como descubrir los medios para distinguir qué caus…a que una lengua comparta características con otra. Los capítulos abarcan desde la antigua Anatolia hasta la Amazonía, incluyendo Australia, Oceanía, el sudeste y el este de Asia, y el África subsahariana. Se incluye la visión de un arqueólogo sobre la evidencia material que explica el cambio cultural y lingüístico, y una discusión general sobre qué tipos de características lingüísticas pueden o no ser prestadas.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Two languages can resemble each other in the categories, constructions, and types of meaning they use, and in the forms they employ to express these. Such resemblances may be the consequence of universal characteristics of language, of chance or coincidence, of the borrowing by one language…of another's words, or of the diffusion of grammatical, phonetic, and phonological characteristics that takes place when languages come into contact. Languages sometimes showlikeness because they have borrowed not from each other but from a third language. Languages that come from the same ancestor may have similar grammatical categories and meanings expressed by similarforms: such languages are said to be genetically affiliated.This book considers how and why forms and meanings of different languages at different times may resemble one another. Its editors and authors aim (a) to explain and identify the relationship between areal diffusion and the genetic development of languages, and (b) to discover the means of distinguishing what may cause one language to share the characteristics of another. The introduction outlines the issues thatunderlie these aims, introduces the chapters which follow, and comments on recurrent conclusions by the contributors. The problems are formidable and the pitfalls numerous: for example, several of theauthors draw attention to the inadequacy of the family tree diagram as the main metaphor for language relationship.The authors range over Ancient Anatolia, Modern Anatolia, Australia, Amazonia, Oceania, Southeast and East Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The book includes an archaeologist's view on what material evidence offers to explain cultural and linguistic change, and a general discussion of which kinds of linguistic feature can and cannot be borrowed. The chaptersare accessibly-written and illustrated by twenty maps. The book will interest all students of the causes and consequences of language change and evolution.
