Isi artikel

Alexis Manaster Ramer, in a recent issue of Anthropological Linguistics, presented what seems to be very reasonable arguments in favor of a genetic relationship among the so-called Coahuiltecan languages. Here this evidence is reassessed and the various hypotheses of relationship are evaluated. This closer scrutiny shows that the evidence is not sufficiently robust to support the hypotheses. In particular, the known loans among languages of the area require that the role of borrowing be given serious attention in investigations of linguistic kinship involving these languages. This reevaluation of the hypotheses has considerable implications for attempts to establish distant genetic relationships in general.
