	Bernard Comrie: "Catalan is an example of disadvantaged language which has been culturally successful" · Forum 2004
		Bernard Comrie, professor of Linguistics at the University of California and director of the Linguistics department of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, claimed that the ‘minority languages’ have “as much to say as the others”.
		Comrie, who is participating in the debate “Linguistic Diversity, Sustainability and Peace”, said that an evaluation of the present situation of the world’s languages cannot be made: there are rare languages whose rights are perfectly well respected.
		Comrie quoted the situation of other places, such as Turkey, where until a short time ago languages such as Kurdish could not be used in public.

	Bernard Comrie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Bernard Comrie's interests cluster around the general problem area of language universals.
		He believes that, in order to come up with claims about language universals that have a reasonable chance of proving to be correct, it is necessary to examine data from a wide range of languages, rather than just from one language or a group of closely related languages.
		He is also interested in interaction of these various factors in conditioning language change, and regularly teaches the department's historical linguistics course.

	Altaic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Altaic theory is supported by many linguists, but many other linguists (eg Doerfer 1963) do not regard Altaic as a valid group, and see it as three (or more) separate language families.
		Other linguists, such as Bernard Comrie (1992, 2003) argue that Altaic may be part of a larger grouping, such as Nostratic or Eurasiatic.
		In contrast, J. Marshall Ungar (1990) believes that languages such as Korean and Japanese may be part of a macro-Tungusic family.

		Dr Comrie draws his examples particularly from English and the Slavonic and Romance languages, but also from Arabic, Chinese, Welsh, Greek and a variety of others.
		It will come as no surprise to readers familiar with Bernard Comrie's work, or with any other of the Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics, that "Aspect" is an engaging and remarkably coherent book.
		In "Aspect", Comrie skilfully and succinctly captures something of the essence of verb aspect in human language in general, as well as something of the essence of the myriad ways in which respective human languages express it.

		My fourth example is Bernard Comrie’s article "From potential to realization: an episode in the origin of language" (New Essays on the Origin of Language, edited by Jürgen Trabant and Sean Ward in the Trends in Linguistics series for Mouton de Gruyter [Berlin and New York, 2001]): 103-17.
		Less prudent than Bierwisch (see Chronicle 283), Comrie is ready to discuss the very originary moment in which our "language capacity" is actualized for the first time.
		Then, as Comrie puts it, "when placed in a situation where his life depended on being able to fly, he made the attempt and flew" (103).

		Few people in the world have made as much sense of this 'tower of babble' as Bernard Comrie - a man described by his colleagues as the 'Linguists' linguist'.
		Professor Comrie says inter-disciplinary research is bringing together linguists, geneticists, and archaeologists and is throwing new light on 'hitherto intractable questions relating to prehistoric human population movements'.
		He says Professor Comrie has written nine books, and his texts are key reference works for linguistics the world over.

	Comrie, Bernard: Language Universals and Linguistic Typology
		Comrie, Bernard Language Universals and Linguistic Typology: Syntax and Morphology.
		Adopting an approach to the subject pioneered by Greenberg and others, Bernard Comrie is particularly concerned with syntactico-semantic universals, devoting chapters to word order, case making, relative clauses, and causative constructions.
		His book is informed throughout by the conviction that an exemplary account of universal properties of human language cannot restrict itself to purely formal aspects, nor focus on analysis of a single language.

		Bernard Comrie defines tense as the grammaticalisation of location in time.
		In this textbook he introduces readers to the range of variation found in tense systems across the languages of the world, bringing together a rich collection of illustrative material that student and specialist alike will find invaluable.
		For all readers, Dr Comrie's coherent and characteristically elegant account of this complex grammatical category will provide a solid basis for further research on tense, even in a language as thoroughly studied as English.

		Bernard Comrie: Language Contact, Lexical Borrowing, and Semantic Fields
		Much attention has been devoted recently to the question of possible constraints on borrowing, in part in order directly to deepen our understanding of language contact, in part as a result of claims about genetic relatedness that potentially fail because of borrowing.
		Using evidence primarily from Highland New Guinea languages, I show that there are indeed instances of such easily recognized borrowings that nonetheless cover a wide range of semantic domains within basic vocabulary.

		Comrie was quoted on one website as refuting the notion of the Altaic language family, but that was in an article written 20 years ago.
		Roy Andrew Miller has made what to me stands as a significant contribution to the idea that they are part of this larger Altaic group.
