Prezados,<br>
<br>
Aos que já leram a mensagem abaixo, minhas desculpas pela repetição.<br>
<br>
Fico imaginando que estimativa de profundidade temporal atribuiriam ao "Proto Na-Dene/Yeniseic" -- e que conseqüências isto teria para a (re-a)avaliação dos limites do método comparativo.<wbr>.. Algum palpite?<br>
<br>
Abraços,<br>

Message1: Linguists demonstrate Siberian-North American link<br>

LINGUIST List issue <a href="http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-717.html">http://linguistlist<wbr>.org/issues/<wbr>19/19-717.<wbr>html</a> <br>

<br>
A long-sought connection between Siberian and North American language<br>
families has been demonstrated by linguists from Washington and Alaska. <br>
Professor Edward Vajda of Western Washington University (Bellingham)<wbr>, a<br>
specialist on the Ket language isolate spoken by a shrinking number of<br>
elders living along the Yenisei River of central Siberia, combining ten<br>
years of library and field work on Ket and relying on the earlier work of<br>
Heinrich Werner on the now-extinct relatives of Ket, has clarified the<br>
dauntingly complex morphology and phonology of Ket and its Yeniseic<br>
congeners. At a symposium held Feb. 26-27 at the University of Alaska,<br>
Fairbanks and a panel to take place Feb. 29 at the Alaska Anthropological<br>
Association annual meeting in Anchorage, Vajda shows that the abstract<br>
forms of lexical and grammatical morphemes and the rules of composition of<br>
the Ket verb find systematic and numerous parallels in the Na-Dene<br>
protolanguage reconstructed to account for the modern Tlingit and Eyak<br>
languages and the Athabaskan language family (whose daughters include<br>
Gwich'in, Koyukon, Dena'ina and others of Alaska, Hupa of California, and<br>
Navajo of the U.S. Southwest). The comparison was made possible by recent<br>
advances in the analysis of Tlingit phonology and Tlingit-Athabaskan-<wbr>Eyak<br>
presented at the same symposium by Prof. Jeff Leer of the University of<br>
Alaska, Fairbanks, and by earlier work by Prof. Michael Krauss of UAF on<br>
the now-extinct Eyak language and on comparative Athabaskan, and on<br>
Athabaskan lexicography and verb stem analysis by symposium organizer Prof.<br>
James Kari of UAF. Working independently, Vajda and the Alaska linguists<br>
have arrived at abstract stem shapes and ancestral wordforms too numerous<br>
and displaying too many idiosyncratic parallels to be explained by anything<br>
other than common descent. The comparison also shows conclusively that<br>
Haida, sometimes associated with Na-Dene, is not related.<br>
<br>
The distance from the Yeniseian range to that the most distant Athabaskan<br>
languages is the greatest overland distance covered by any known language<br>
spread not using wheeled transport or sails. Archaeologist Prof. Ben<br>
Potter of UAF reviewed the postglacial prehistory of Beringia and<br>
speculated that the Na-Dene speakers may descend from some of the earliest<br>
colonizers of the Americas, who eventually created the successful and<br>
long-lived Northern Archaic tool tradition that dominated interior and<br>
northern Alaska almost until historical times.<br>
<br>
Vajda's work has been well vetted. In addition to Na-Dene specialists<br>
Krauss, Leer, and Kari, who have reacted favorably, the symposium was also<br>
attended by historical linguists Prof. Eric P. Hamp of the University of<br>
Chicago and Prof. Johanna Nichols of the University of California,<br>
Berkeley, both of whom announced their support for the proposed<br>
relationship, and Bernard Comrie, Director of the Linguistics Department,<br>
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig and professor<br>
at UC Santa Barbara, endorsed Vajda's method. Athabaskanist Prof. Victor<br>
Golla of Humboldt State University, Eurasianist Prof. Michael Fortescue of<br>
the University of Copenhagen, Yeniseicist Dr. Heinrich Werner of Bonn<br>
(formerly of Taganrog University, Russia), Prof. Bernard Comrie (Max Plank<br>
Institute, Leipzig), and Prof. Nicholas Evans (Australian National<br>
University) read the draft of Vajda's report and reacted favorably [these<br>
five have not been consulted in the writing of this statement].<br>
