Biographical note

Allan R. Bomhard was educated at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Hunter College, and City University of New York. He has published five books and over fifty articles on Comparative-Historical Linguistics, a.o. Toward Proto-Nostratic: A New Approach to the Comparison of Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Afroasiatic (Benjamins, 1984) and The Nostratic Macrofamily: A Study in Distant Linguistic Relationship (Co-author John Kerns, Mouton, 1994). His main areas of interest are Indo-European Comparative Linguistics and distant linguistic comparison.

Readership

All those interested in Indo-European comparative/historical linguistics, archaeology, and distant linguistic comparison.

Reviews

"Summing up, the final positive contribution of the most recent monograph by Bomhard is enormous, in both consistence of his starting points and in richness of his lexical, grammatical and bibliographical data, which represent a bountiful source of inspiration for all who are interested in the questions of the distant relationship, including those scholars who prefer other concepts of the Nostratic hypothesis."
