Abstract

Researchers interested in the history of the Indo-European family of languages have used a variety of methods to estimate the phylogeny of the family, and have obtained widely differing results. In this paper we explore the reconstructions of the Indo- European phylogeny obtained by using the major phylogeny estimation procedures on an existing database of 336 characters (including lexical, phonological, and morpho- logical characters) for 24 Indo-European languages. Our study finds that the different methods agree in part, but that there are also several striking differences. We dis- cuss the reasons for these differences, and make proposals with respect to phylogenetic reconstruction in historical linguistics.
