THE PREHISTORY OF LANGUAGES. BY MARY R. HAAS. 2. PRINT. HAGUE, PARIS: MOUTON 1978. 120 S

Most of the present work was published originally under the title "Historical Linguistics and the Genetic Relationship of Languages" and appeared in Current Trends in Linguistics, Vol. Ill, ed. by Thomas A. Sebeok (1966). In presenting this material as a separate publication in the Series minor of Jama Linguarum, a shorter title, The Prehistory of Languages, has been chosen, and a number of changes, both by way of addition and of deletion, have been introduced. Deletions are not extensive except in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 is entirely new. The Appendix contains a paper which belongs with the general thinking that went into the preparation of this volume but properly stands somewhat apart. A bibliography has also been added. The freedom from normal academic routine which has been provided during 1967-68 has made it possible to carry forward my studies in the linguistic prehistory of North America and, as a byproduct, to revise and expand my earlier paper into its present form. As a Senior Fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities and concurrently as a Fellow in residence at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, I am happy to express my deep gratitude to both organizations for this opportunity.
