«Lenguas y protolenguas» is the historical linguistics essay by Luis Michelena, published by the University of Salamanca in paperback (84 pages).
The essay starts from the idea that every language is an ordered system that preserves information about its own past, although time makes it blurred or illegible. From a diachronic perspective it examines the history and prehistory of languages, the methods and criteria of reconstruction, phonetic laws and the concept of proto-language.
It appeared in 1986 as number 180 of the Acta Salmanticensia series and includes a final bibliography.
Reference work for students and scholars of diachronic linguistics, philology and the history of languages.
