Non-Indo-European languages in modern language groupings in Europe (some questions concerning methodology and criteria in Eurolinguistics)
Non-Indo-European languages in modern language groupings in Europe (some questions concerning methodology and criteria in Eurolinguistics)

Summary/Abstract: Although it is easy to fathom why Eurolinguistic research tends to concern what is called Standard Average European (see Haspelmath 2001) rather than peripheral non-Indo-European languages of Europe this author’s opinion is that a closer look precisely at the latter makes the linguistic picture of Europe more interesting, more true and more complex. At the same time a few methodological questions arise. Some of them are presented and (partially) discussed in this study.
