His main articles, an unpublished item in linguistics, and a book excerpt on the history of the plough are translated here from Haudricourt's famously elliptical French by area specialists, with notes and epilogues to help readers appreciate their scientific and methodological relevance. The collection includes the seminal articles in which Haudricourt argued from comparative and functional linguistics and from cultural history that East Asian tone systems are not a common inheritance but arose in parallel, according to common principles, in languages originally without tone.
