Revision as of 16:44, 10 May 2006
Mario Alinei is Professor Emeritus at the University of Utrecht, where he taught from 1959 to 1987. He is founder and editor of Quaderni di semantica, an international journal of theoretical and applied semantics. Until recently, he was president of Atlas Linguarum Europae at UNESCO.
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.
