[QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] No one said you had to create a full length work to show a genetic relationship. You are putting words in my mouth. What has been said is that it is another thing all together to reconstruct a entire language phylum, which you have not done and have yet to point us to a work in which you did. How do you keep missing this point as it has been said to you in clear language? At this point you are arguing to be arguing. If you did read the work, you'd know that there are other trees given in the text. I'm not going to do your homework for you since you don't understand the method, who has used it in the past, and why this is superior to past methods. I can't take you seriously on this issue because you continue to argue against a work you have not read. No self-respecting scholar judges something they have not read. Let's make this clear Dr. Winters, you haven't read the book. You don't have an opinion. It's just that simple. You citing your work on Mande, Tamil and Dravidian does not establish Niger-Congo as a language PHYLUM. Where is your work on the validation and reconstruction of Niger-Congo, since you invoke Obenga and his critiques against Afro-Asiatic? I'm still waiting on that information. The same with Nilo-Saharan. I've already posted linguistic works (and not all of them by the way) that challenge these labels. Where is your work that counters their works and is accepted by fellow linguists? Even of the African school? I have read your works AND I have read Homburger's, Diop's, Obenga's and Mboli's works and I can say with the utmost confidence that nothing you have created is on that level. One, because your work does not have the same intent. Showing a "relationship" is not the same as a reconstruction, and from your "article" (not book) on the subject above, you did not do that. Lastly, again, the people on the Niger-Congo reconstruction have yet to reconstruct the language. If they did, can you tell me what is the name of the book where they did this and who are the authors? I await your response. [/QB][/QUOTE]
