Abstract:

During the past decade, the ancient DNA revolution has had a massive
impact on the scholarly debates on the origins and dispersals of
language families. Now, linguists are asking the question: does
linguistic and genetic evidence paint the same picture of the human
past? This book sheds new light on an old hypothesis on the
relatedness of Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic languages, by studying
unique lexical correspondences of these branches. It argues that their
common <i>Indo-Slavic</i> origin supports an emerging picture based on
ancient DNA, which shows a genetic relationship between prehistoric
populations of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics

Language Family(ies): Indo-Iranian
                      Slavic
