Abstract
On reconstruction of Proto-Nostratic, or: How to write an anti-omnicomparatistic polemic

The following article deals with A. R. Bomhard’s latest attempts to reconstruct “Proto-Nostratic” (which forms a synthesis of Nostratic proto-language as proposed by the Nostraticists of the “Moscow Nostratic school” and J. H. Greenberg’s “Eurasiatic”) in a somehow ironical way. Bomhard claims to have reconstructed the phonology as well as the vocabulary and morphology of this supposed macro-family in his bulky two-volume-work. The reviewer criticizes this especially the methodological weakness of these attempts.
