 Mario Alinei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mario Alinei is Professor Emeritus at the University of Utrecht, where he taught from 1959 to 1987.
Some of his main linguistical contributions, which were instrumental in creating the Paleolithic Continuity Theory, regarded tendencies towards the conservation of languages, as opposed to the theories of "biological laws" of linguistic change and the method of lexical self-dating.
The following external links illustrate Alinei's general concept of continuity and the points of his criticism toward traditional historical linguistics.

It is based on a controversial synthesis of linguistic studies, the archaeogenetical studies of Brian Sykes indicating that some 80% of the genetic stock of Europeans goes back to the Paleolithic, as well as on archaeological data indicating European cultural continuity.
Its main proponents are the Italian linguists Mario Alinei, Gabriele Costa ( http://www.continuitas.com/workgroup.html) and Cicero Poghirc as well as the German and Belgian prehistorians Alexander Hausler ( http://www.continuitas.com/workgroup.html) and Marcel Otte.
In historical linguistics it is commonly deemed unfeasible to make any assertion about particular languages of such antiquity.

The main reason I removed names is because somebody (who is either a fan of Mario Alinei or Mario Alinei himself) kept mentioning the name of 'Mario Alinei' and how 'renowned' he is. I don't really give a ****.
Mario Alinei is not a Thracologist, and he is stepping out of his field.
In his essay [9], Mario Alinei suggests that the Slavs never migrated into the Balkans, etc., that they are autochthonic, etc., and that the Thracians were in fact Slavs who spoke a South Slavic language, etc..

 EDITORIALE— di Melinda Tamás-Tarr
E invece è la tesi sostenuta da un autorevole linguista italiano, Mario Alinei, professore emerito all’Università di Utrecht, nelle quasi 500 pagine del suo ultimo libro, in uscita per il Mulino ai primi di settembre.
Alinei l'affinità delle magistrature delle due lingue: nomi simili nelle due lingue.
A dire la verità, non riesco a capacitarmi che Alinei essendo occidentale si sia assunto un tale enorme rischio: ipotizzare la presenza dei Magiari in Etruria 2000 anni prima della conquista della patria di Árpád - in quelle parti dovrebbe essere una colpa capitale da rogo, però pure da noi.

For a long time Hungarian scholars have argued that Etruscan was related to Hungarian (Magyar).
A recent book by a senior Italian linguist (Alinei, 2003) refines and buttresses this argument.
Alinei finds a remarkable resemblance between Etruscan and ancient Magyar magistrature names as well as similarities in typologies, vocabulary, and historical grammar between Etruscan and Hungarian.

As the linchpin to his theory, Alinei deals especially with the Slavs (and specifically mentions the Slovenes) and concludes that they had since antiquity lived in the area of southeastern Europe and, further, that they had from there expanded northward and northeastward.
And since we know that the speakers of these languages had come into Anatolia already 5,000 years ago, it is difficult to imagine that during the 4th millennium BC a common Indo-European language could still have existed.
The unyielding granite of the Slovene clinging stubbornly to its linguistic salient, buffeted through centuries by gales from the north and south, by itself is proof positive that Indo-European origins are shrouded in the recesses of a much more distant past than the 6,000 years the Kurgan Theory presumes to accord them.

The citation for the matter was a paper by one Mario Alinei with the rather wordy title
Mr Alinei’s main thrust is that the Indo-European languages did not come about after the wide migration of Proto-Indo-European farmers (like in Renfrew) or horsemen (like in Mallory) in relatively recent history, but rather came to Europe with the first humans wandering out of Africa.
He does not seem to be bothered by the fact that language changes so quickly that the languages of Europe could not have been seen as descendent of a common language if they were much older than they are.

 All Empires History Forum: Origin of the Indo-European Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
These Proto IEs were early farmers and spread their language and culture throughout Europe and Asia rather via cultural exchange and through their intellectual superiority rather than by conquest and war.
It equals the arrival of IE people with the arrival of “homo sapiens” in Europe and Asia from Africa in the Palaeolithic age long before the 10th Millennium BC.
Alinei proposes that there have been no large scale immigrations from outside the main area of IE speaking areas into Europe after, as Cywr calles it rightly "the peopling of a continent" up to the point to the formation of the earliest forms of distinct IE language groups in Europe (Proto-Germanic,-Slavic,-Italic,- Greek and so on).

 Thracian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His work has been overall neglected by the linguistic community.
Contrary to the view that Thracian was close to Baltic, the linguist Mario Alinei recently ( 2003) published a paper that presents the claim that Thracian was much closer to Slavic than Baltic.
There is no agreement on whether Thracian was even very close to Balto-Slavic itself, let alone agreement on which of the two it was closest to.

The second stream of scholar work that discards the idea of massive Slavic migrations in the early middle ages is the Theory of continuity of professor Mario Alinei.
This theory (which is strongly corroborated by the above mentioned genetic findings)claims that the populations and languages in Europe are more or less geographically autohtonous.
Those strong correlations between Curta's and Alinei's evidence and conclusions, on the one side, and the genetic evidence on the other, make a really strong case against the concept of Slavic migrations and offers a much more supported model of the prehistory and history of Balkans.

 THE “TAVOLA DA ESTE” INSCRIPTION by Anthony Ambrozic,
One of the luminaries presenting a paper at Kovarid was Mario Alinei, Dean Emeritus of the University of Utrecht and director of several linguistic reviews.
He is the progenitor of the Theory of Continuity, providing incontrovertible evidence that Indo-Europeans have lived in Europe basically in the same territories they occupy today ever since the Stone Age.
To put the foregoing into somewhat broader perspective, I enclose a brief sketch of Alinei’s Theory in its relationship to the Indo-European beginnings.

 Uralic Linguistics Vs. Voodoo Science!
His introduction to Historical Linguistics was one of the first books I read on the matter when a student, and Larry Trask also had the patience to debunk various nonsense and pseudo-linguistics in his own field (Vascology) and more widely as well.
Kaltio A cultural magazine from Northern Finland, the webpages of which include a debate in which Kyösti Julku, Ago Kunnap, Kalevi Wiik and Angela Marcantonio defend the "new paradigm", whereas Aslak and Ante Aikio, Christian Carpelan, Petri Kallio and Raimo Anttila patiently take it apart.
Alinei messaged me his displeasure at this classification and argued that there are large and principled differences between his work in Indo-European origins and Wiik's in Uralic.

Unfortunately, we do not know the names of these very authoritative people, who had tried to block publication, but we can be sure that one generation and a half later such 'authorities' with their strong reservations still exist, and exercise adequate pressure on young linguists.
The Continuity Theory I have presented in my book [Alinei 1996] does not rest only on the lithic-geolinguistic correlation.
Among other things, I have tried to show that historical and comparative linguistics, born in the 19th century, might still be hindered by the same 'chronological bias' as the pre-Darwinian study of paleontological fossils.
