	Joseph Greenberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joseph Harold Greenberg (May 28, 1915-May 7, 2001) was a prominent and controversial linguist, known for his work in both language classification and typology.
		Greenberg's fame rests in part on his seminal contributions to synchronic linguistics and the quest to identify linguistic universals.
		Greenberg is also widely known and respected for his development of a new classification system for African languages, which he published in 1963.

	Linguist Joseph Greenberg dies at age 85: 5/01
		Joseph H. Greenberg, the Ray Lyman Wilbur Professor of Social Science, Emeritus, and a linguist who studied the origins of the world's languages, died May 7 at his campus home.
		Greenberg served as chair of the Anthropology Department from 1971 to 1974.
		Greenberg was a fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

	Joseph Greenberg, Singular Linguist, Dies at 85
		Joseph H. Greenberg, an eminent linguist and classifier of the world's languages, died on May 7 in Stanford, Calif. He was 85.
		Greenberg's effort to work out the historical relationships among most of the world's 5,000 languages is regarded as a monumental work of scholarship but still has critics.
		Greenberg had completed the manuscript of the second volume, on the vocabulary relationships of Eurasiatic, in October last year, a day before his pancreatic cancer was diagnosed.

	Amerind languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition to its use by social scientists to refer (broadly) to the various indigenous languages of The Americas, the term Amerind languages may controversially refer to one of the three families in Joseph Greenberg's classification of all Native American languages—the other two being Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut.

	Change as Universals
		Greenberg’s brilliant discovery was that in unrelated families and languages, parts or all of this path of change are attested, and furthermore that the progression along the path is unidirectional.
		More languages preclude /h/ from codas than allow it (see [iv]), but a significant minority not only allows /h/ there, but seems to favor it in the sense that it is one of a small set of allowed coda consonants, as shown in (ii).
		Since /h/ is both the outcome of weakening and often subject to further weakening itself, a cross-linguistic situation is created in which the frequent occurrence of /h/ in syllable-final position is in itself an unstable situation.

		Greenberg’s most controversial contribution to anthropology is his work on “The Greenberg Theory.” The Greenberg Theory suggested that the first Americans arrived from Asia in at least three separate waves, each wave giving rise to one of three linguistic groups.
		Greenberg states that this is evident by the genetic code found in the dental records of Native Americans.
		Greenberg backed his theory by stating that there were always three different groups.

	Mathematical Structures of Early Indo-European Numeral Systems
		Greenberg's work in defining categories of language on the basis of the extent to which human languages vary offers a way to capture systematic differences in terms of universal categories of language.
		Interests of Greenberg, the anthropologist, however, also extended to linguistic systems that encoded cultural systems as when he (1978) pointed out that the names of number words may change because a language has adopted a new numeral base.
		Greenberg (1978) established that changes in the linguistics of numeral systems reflected changes in a base.

	Scientist at Work: What We All Spoke When the World Was Young
		Greenberg has grouped most of the world's languages into a small number of clusters based on their similarities.
		Dr. Greenberg's work is of considerable interest to population geneticists trying to reconstruct the path of early human migrations by means of genetic patterning in different peoples.
		In the course of classifying the languages of the Americas, Dr. Greenberg realized that their major families were related to languages on the Eurasian continent, as would be expected if the Americas had been inhabited by people migrating through Siberia.

	Linguist Joseph Greenberg dies at age 85 : 5/01
		Greenberg's range of knowledge was unusual, even for a linguist, Fox pointed out.
		However, when Greenberg proceeded to do the same kind of study of the Americas -- which he wrote about in Language in the Americas -- specialists lined up to oppose his work.
		Greenberg most recently labored to prove the links between what he called "Eurasiatic" languages -- claiming that most of the languages of Europe and Asia, ranging from English to Korean, had common threads.

		Greenberg was the first to present a unified classification of African languages.
		Greenberg claimed to have arrived at this conclusion by use of mass comparison, a somewhat dubious method he developed that uses similarities in vocabularies among languages to show genetic relation (the method is often criticized for building hypotheses without real evidence).
		Greenberg's studies on language universals are less controversial than his classification studies.

		Joseph H. Greenberg (May 28, 1915-May 7, 2001) was a prominent linguist, considered a master of the art and science of genetic language classification; also made important contributions to linguistic typology.
		While the languages of Eurasia and the Pacific Ocean islands have proven largely susceptible to classification, a major embarrassment to historical linguistics was the inability to do the same for the Americas, Australia, and Africa.
		Greenberg's cracking of the latter is rightly considered a major step forward (after some initial criticism).

	John Benjamins: Book details for Studies in Typology and Diachrony [TSL 20]
		Joseph H. Greenberg is a towering figure in late twentieth century linguistics.
		His major contributions in the field have been in the area of typology and universals, virtually launched by his paper on word order universals, and in diachronic linguistics.
		The major thrust of Greenberg's work in the past three decades has been in the fusion of these two approaches to linguistic explanation into one, diachronic typology, the cross-linguistic analysis of languages as dynamic systems.This volume honors Greenberg on the occasion of his 75th birthday.
