Abstract
Homelands, theories of origin and chronologies: research on Europe's linguistic prehistory. The research on Europe's linguistic history has been dominated by some classic questions about the origin of the Indo-European languages: a. Where was the Indo-European protolanguage spoken, and hence, from where did the Indo-European languages spread across Europe? b. When did this happen, i.e. how old are Proto-Indo-European and its daughter languages? c. How did the Indo-European languages spread?
