Summary
In much of the study of the phenomenon of language spread the focus has been on attempting to explain the distribution of languages at a particular attested time in history based on events in the remote and largely historically unattested past based on inferences from archeological data alone. In recent work the present author and Johanna Nichols have been developing a broad-based approach to explaining language distribution by focusing first on language spreads attested within the historical period to inform our theorizing about spreads that took place in prehistory.
