Abstract

In addition to its theoretical impact, the development of molecular biology has brought about the possibility of extraordinary scientific progress in the historical study of classification and geographicaldistribution of different species and different human populations (cf. Cavalli Sforza et al., 1994).We want to suggest that parametric theories of linguistic variation in generative grammar can prompt analogous progress in the study of the history and geographical distribution of different language families.Thus, this work aims at unifying two traditionally unrelated lines of investigation:- the formal study of syntactic variation in generative grammar - the reconstruction of historical relations among languages (phylogenetic taxonomy)
