methodological algorithm for diachronic interpretation of nostratic mar a tree based on the data taken from bomhard s a comprehensive introduction to nostratic Comparative Linguistics with special reference to indo european
Advanced Education, 2018Co-Authors: Yan KapranovAbstract:The article discusses the methodological algorithm for diachronic interpretation of the Nostratic etymon *mar-a “tree” represented in the A. R. Bomhard’s “A Comprehensive Introduction to Nostratic Comparative Linguistics: With Special Reference to Indo-European. The paper elaborates the definition of the Nostratic etymon as a hypothetical language-ancestor, established based on the comparison of the degree of affinity with the available reconstructed etymons at the level of every Nostratic language family (Altaic, Afro-Asiatic, Dravidian, Indo-European, Kartvelian, and Uralic). The author comes to the conclusion that Bomhard used the three research stages to identify the Nostratic etymon. At the first stage (the level of the language family) the Comparative-historical method is used with the procedures of internal (etymon(s) / proto-form(s) at the level of the language group) and external (comparison of etymons / proto-forms reconstructed for certain language groups in order to reconstruct etymon / proto-form at the level of the language family) reconstruction; the step-by-step reconstruction method. At the second stage (the level of macrofamily) the mass comparison method is used. It helps to involve the already reconstructed etymons at the level of every Nostratic language family into comparison. At the third stage, a specially developed method of diachronic interpretation is used. An attempt tries to prove that the diachronic interpretation of the Nostratic *mar-a “tree” is confirmed by the analysis of language data. The paper considers two methodological procedures: 1) the comparison of a sufficient number of common morphs (or allomorphs) in comparable languages, i.e. the establishment of similar rules for combining regular phonetic correspondences; 2) the semantic similarity of common morphs (or allomorphs) in comparable languages.

METHODOLOGICAL ALGORITHM FOR DIACHRONIC INTERPRETATION OF NOSTRATIC *mar-a “tree” (based on the data taken from Bomhard’s “A Comprehensive Introduction to Nostratic Comparative Linguistics: With Special Reference to Indo-European”)

The orogin of methodology of historical Comparative Linguistics
Journal of Pingdingshan Teachers' College, 2004Co-Authors: Shen Xiao-longAbstract:The historical Comparative Linguistics,as an important revolution with methodology in Linguistics history,set up a model of methodology for the academic research in the 19 thcentury.This paper emphatically probed the formation process of the research method of historical Comparative Linguistics.

On the pattern revolution of the historical Comparative Linguistics
Journal of Jinggangshan Normal College, 2004Co-Authors: Shen Xiao-longAbstract:In the international linguistic history,the historical Comparative Linguistics(HCL)in nineteenth century wrote down a glorious chapter.In the development of HCL within one century,the HCL,surging forward with great momentum,with the sudden change in academic pattern made by the Young Grammarian in the latter half of the nineteenth century,uncovered a brand-newpage for Linguistics.This text systematically studies theses on the profound influence of this pattern revolution.

The Criticism of the New Grammar School of the Historic Comparative Linguistics
2004Co-Authors: Shen Xiao-longAbstract:In the development of historic Comparative Linguistics, the rising of new grammar school has epoch-making significance. Therefore it is more meaningful to explore the theoretical approaches of new grammar school from three aspects such as scientific view of theoretical contribution, the details of material analysis and the individual psychology of language noumenon.

Research Patterns of Historical Comparative Linguistics in Mid-19~th Century
Journal of Xiaogan University, 2004Co-Authors: Shen Xiao-longAbstract:The development of the historical Comparative Linguistics (HCL) in the middle of Nineteenth century presented the diversified research patterns,the fringe ones of which were etymology,linguistic paleontology and classic philology,the main one of which was the naturalism school. The fringe patterns expanded the research realm of HCL,while the main pattern brought up and practiced the main principles of historical Comparative methods.This text systematizes the main patterns of HCL and gives a deep reflection to it on the basis of the exploration of historical function of every pattern.

Functional Word in a Protein. V. Comparative Linguistics.
Proceedings of the Japan Academy. Ser. B: Physical and Biological Sciences, 1996Co-Authors: Yukio Kiho, Kaoru Katori, Kunio Oshima, Tsuruji Iwai, Yoshio OkadaAbstract:Nucleotide sequence of trypsin is analysed by the DEV model for the assignment of its functional system. The number of alphabets is reduced from five (A, T, G, C, S)1) to three (A, C, S or A, G, S) or two (A, C or A, G). Results strengthen the view obtained in five-alphabet system: less-specific but exact assignment of functional system. Comparison between different numbered alphabets is made which includes electric circuit, two alphabet (0, 1) made of conductor.

Mathematical approaches to Comparative Linguistics
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1997Co-Authors: Tandy WarnowAbstract:The inference of the evolutionary history of a set of languages is a complex problem. Although some languages are known to be related through descent from common ancestral languages, for other languages determining whether such a relationship holds is itself a difficult problem. In this paper we report on new methods, developed by linguists Johanna Nichols (University of California, Berkeley), Donald Ringe and Ann Taylor (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia), and me, for answering some of the most difficult questions in this domain. These methods and the results of the analyses based on these methods were presented in November 1995 at the Symposium on the Frontiers of Science held by the National Academy of Sciences.
