Abstract:
The twelve articles in this volume describe Yeniseic, Samoyedic and
Siberian Turkic languages as a linguistic complex of great interest to
typologists, grammarians, diachronic and synchronic linguists, as well as
cultural anthropologists. The articles demonstrate how interdependent the
disparate languages spoken in this area actually are. Individual articles
discuss borrowing and language replacement, as well as compare the
development of language subsystems, such as numeral words in Ket and
Selkup. Three of the articles also discuss the historical and
anthropological origins of the tribes of this area. The book deals with
linguistics from the vantage of both historical anthropology as well as
diachronic and synchronic linguistic structure. The editor's introduction
offers a concise summary of the diverse languages of this area, with
attention to both their differences and similarities. A major feature
uniting them is their mutual interaction with the unique Yeniseic language
family - the only group in North Asia outside the Pacific Rim that does not
belong to Uralic or Altaic. Except for the papers by Anderson and Harrison,
all of the articles were originally written in Russian and they are made
available in English here for the first time.
