Linguistics plays a significant role in the study of prehistory and history, enhancing historical sciences and recent genomic research. How is it possible to hypothesize about languages lacking substantial linguistic documentation? This lecture delves into the reasoning and methodologies for uncovering (pre-)historical linguistic states to enhance our prehistorical understanding. Selected examples will demonstrate the application of these methods and the insights they facilitate.
Martin Joachim Kümmel pursued studies in Comparative Linguistics, Indology, and Scandinavian Studies at Philipps-University Marburg and subsequently researched Indo-European Linguistics, Indology, and North-Germanic Philology at Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg. He earned his doctorate in 1999 on "The Perfect in Indo-Aryan" and his habilitation in 2005 with a study on consonant shift. Since 2013, he has been a professor at Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena.
