1.近几年来，许多学者通过计算测试词汇中的同源词来估计时间深度，取得了一些比较成功的实验。这一发展对于史前史的重建具有重要意义，因为它为语言关系所显示的民族接触提供了一个时间维度。根据历史上已知的各民族的位置，它提供了关于他们在过去特定时期的史前位置和运动的证据。这些数据可以与考古学、比较民族志、借词地理学、语音和形态特征的地理分布以及其他各种证据相联系。它经常
1. The last several years have seen a number of relatively successful experiments by various scholars in estimating time depth by counting cognates in test vocabularies. This development is of great interest for the reconstruction of prehistory because it offers a time dimension for ethnic contacts shown by linguistic relationships. In the light of historically known locations of peoples, it gives evidence regarding their prehistoric location and movements at given periods of the past. This data can be correlated with the indications of archeology, comparative ethnography, geography of loan-words, geographic distribution of phonetic an'morphologic features, and many other kinds of evidence. It frequently
