• Dene-Yeniseic
  Athabascan-Eyak-Tlingit (Dene) is the largest language family in North America, stretching from western Alaska south to the Mexican border, and its internal genetic relationships have been the subject of intensive study. However, the origins of this family outside North America have never been conclusively demonstrated. This symposium will discuss new evidence supporting a linguistic connection between Dene and the Yeniseic family of central Siberia. This proposal is the first to be founded on established comparative methodology rather than on mass comparison, and as such represents one of the most exciting advances in historical linguistics in recent years.
