| مستخلص: | This volume is an especially significant contribution to the comparative study of Australian languages and thus ultimately to theories of Australian prehistory that may be based on such study. As Evans notes in his introduction, it is the first book length historical study of the non-Pama-Nyungan languages of northern and north western Australia, an area containing ‘perhaps 90% of Australia’s linguo-genetic diversity’. While Evans himself does not discuss the more general implications of this diversity — it is a book for linguists rather than historians — generally it has been taken as evidence for the relative antiquity of linguistic settlement in this area, in contrast to a later spread of the less diverse Pama-Nyungan languages across the remainder of Australia. |
