The Slavic branch of the Balto-Slavic sub-family Indo-European languages underwent rapid divergence as a result spatial expansion its speakers from Central-East Europe, in early medieval times. This expansion–mainly to East Europe and northern Balkans–resulted incorporation genetic components numerous autochthonous populations into gene pools. Here, we characterize variation all extant ethnic groups speaking by analyzing mitochondrial DNA (n = 6,876), Y-chromosomes 6,079) genome-wide SNP...
A lexicostatistical classification is proposed for 20 languages and dialects of the Lezgian group North Caucasian family, based on meticulously compiled 110-item wordlists, published as part Global Lexicostatistical Database project. The lexical data have been subsequently analyzed with aid principal phylogenetic methods, both distance-based character-based: Starling neighbor joining (StarlingNJ), Neighbor (NJ), Unweighted pair method arithmetic mean (UPGMA), Bayesian Markov chain Monte...
Abstract On the basis of four phonological criteria, ca. 140 early Slavic lexical borrowings are identified in Hungarian. These loanwords attributed to Pannonian language, a hypothetical language spoken Carpathian Basin second half first millennium AD before arrival Magyars. The proposed method identifying dialectisms is based on independent sampling and exact matching morphology semantics. Etymological analysis discloses substantial number connections between West languages, whereas there...
Abstract This paper deals with the problem of linguistic homoplasy (parallel or backward development), how it can be detected, what kinds distinguished and which varieties phenomenon are most deleterious for reconstruction language phylogeny. It is proposed that phylogeny should consist two main stages. Firstly, a strict consensus tree built on basis high-quality input data elaborated help phylogenetic methods (such as Neighbor-joining, Bayesian MCMC, Maximum parsimony), ancestral character...
Abstract Upward Sun River 1, an individual from a unique burial of the Denali tradition in Alaska (11500 calBP), is considered type representative Ancient Beringians who split other First Americans 22000–18000 calBP Beringia. Using new admixture graph model-comparison approach resistant to overfitting, we show that do not form deepest American lineage, but instead harbor ancestry lineage more closely related northern North than southern Americans. also substantial did contribute Native...
Abstract In this article we present a new reconstruction of Indo-European phylogeny based on 13 110-item basic wordlists for protolanguages IE subgroups (Proto-Germanic, Proto-Slavic, etc.) or ancient languages the corresponding (Hittite, Ancient Greek, etc.). We apply reasonably formal techniques linguistic data collection and post-processing (onomasiological reconstruction, derivational drift elimination, homoplastic optimization) that have been recently proposed specially developed study....
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the journals Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) (Web platform) in respect publication misconduct and predatory practices. Design/methodology/approach employs formal criteria developed by Disseropedia Journals (a.k.a. Journal Project Dissernet). Findings A substantial number RSCI violate publishing ethics and/or are involved practices (fake peer-review, plagiarism self-plagiarism, pseudoscientific papers so on). general trend negative: such...
Abstract Medieval era encounters of nomadic groups the Eurasian Steppe and largely sedentary East Europeans had a variety demographic cultural consequences. Amongst these outcomes was emergence Lipka Tatars—a Slavic-speaking Sunni-Muslim minority residing in modern Belarus, Lithuania Poland, whose ancestors arrived territories via several migration waves, mainly from Golden Horde. Our results show that Belarusian Tatars share substantial part their gene pool with as indicated by...
A large number of Ancient Greek vases dated to the 1st millennium bc contain short inscriptions. Normally, these represent names craftsmen or and descriptions depicted characters objects. The majority inscriptions are understandable in Greek, but there is a substantial abracadabra words whose meaning morphological structure remain vague. Recently an interdisciplinary team (Mayor et alii 2014) came up with idea that some nonsense associated Amazons Scythians actually written ancient...
In this paper, we present the results of our analysis 110-item basic wordlists for four reconstructed and one ancient languages, linguistic ancestors five language families which are hypothesized to constitute Altaic (a.k.a. Transeurasian) macrofamily: Proto-Turkic, Proto-Mongolic, Proto-Tungusic, Middle Korean Proto-Japonic wordlists. Protolanguage were according strict criteria semantic reconstruction, based on accurate glossing forms in daughter languages. Each involved form was encoded...
Abstract Relationships between universally recognized language families represent a hotly debated topic in historical linguistics, and the same is true for correlation signals of genetic linguistic relatedness. We developed weighted permutation test which represents classical tests with weights introduced individual Swadesh concepts according to their typological stability. Further, obtained values were calibrated on negative control group override non-uniform distribution phonemes within...
