44 词源统计分析法:20世纪60年代,美国语言学家莫里斯· 斯沃德什发明了词源统计分析法。斯沃德什是一个有争议的人物;他在麦卡锡时代因其政见而付出了护照的代价,之后长年在墨西哥工作。词源统计分析法是他死后出版的杰作《语言的起源和多元化》的主题。这种分析法试图探明两种语言是在多久以前从一个共同祖先那里分裂出来的,就像法语和意大利语是从拉丁语中分裂出来的一样。为了做到这一点,斯沃德什拟定了一份由一百个基本词汇,诸如“耳朵”、“母亲”、“呕吐”等等组成的清单。斯沃德什认为,当两种语言紧密相关的时候,它们的这些词汇就会彼此相似。例如,“耳朵”一词在法语中是oreille,在意大利语中是orecchio,其相似度足以表明,这两种语言是在相对近期才分离开来的。斯沃德什宣称,其清单上每千年会有14%的词汇产生变化。因此,如果某两种语言在斯沃德什清单的100个词汇里有79个相似,那么可以认为,它们是大约1 500年前从一个共同祖先那里分裂出来的。不足为奇的是,斯沃德什的观点遭到了批判。尤其不合情理的是那种认为语言变化是以放之四海而皆准的恒速进行的观念。尽管如此,研究人员还是会使用词源统计分析法,这一方面是因为缺乏其它选择,另一方面是因为它的基本观点在直观上是正确的(Swadesh 1971, 1952; Hymes 1971, 1960
:5-6)。

:463)。

51 作为首个到访者的韦拉扎诺:在其畅销著作《1421年:中国人发现世界》中,曾担任英国海军军官的加文·孟席斯认为,由太监郑和率领的庞大舰队于1421年从中国启航驶向美洲。舰队在加勒比海里损失了很多船只后,不得不把“数千男性和姬妾”留在了罗得岛上。随后的舰队本应将他们接上,但促成郑和下西洋的永乐皇帝逝世了,而其继任者对环游世界没有兴趣。这些搁浅在当地的中国人融入了当地群体之中。韦拉扎诺注意到,罗得岛的印第安人比其他印第安人更为“俊美”,而这在孟席斯看来,就是他们并非印第安人的证据。这幅500英尺长的中国大船搁浅在新英格兰地区的图景太过迷人,以至于我不得不很遗憾地报告说,除了孟席斯本人以外,很少有研究人员相信这一点(Menzies 2003
:281-96; 291)。
