Linguistic archaeology is a field that provides students with an accessible introduction to the study of linguistic archaeology, serving as both a theoretical framework and a methodological toolkit for understanding the conceptual foundations and practical considerations involved in reconstructing the prehistory of language. This field has expanded beyond traditional approaches and now focuses more on the interplay of related disciplines and the reconstruction of human language beyond the written period.
The opening chapter of the book outlines key theories and charts their development from the nineteenth century to the present, drawing on work from computational historical linguistics, phylogenetics, and linguistic anthropology. Subsequent chapters build on these theories and take a hands-on approach in mining empirical data to reconstruct language prehistory. This includes references, links, and instructions to open access resources, as well as a step-by-step guide for employing the rich range of available methods in working with this data.
Closing chapters situate theory and method in context against chronological and geographic perspectives and look ahead to future trajectories for continued progress in this emerging area of study.
This innovative volume offers a holistic entry point into linguistic archaeology and will be a valuable resource for students in historical linguistics, linguistic anthropology, language evolution, and cultural geography.
