Prof. Edward Vajda (Western Washington University)
"New Evidence for Dene-Yeniseian"
Edward Vajda has been a professor in Western Washington University's Department of Modern and Classical Languages in Bellingham, Washington since 1987. He teaches courses in introductory linguistics, morphological theory, historical linguistics, Russian language, folklore and culture, and Eurasia's nomadic peoples. His research focuses on the languages of Northern Asia and includes original fieldwork with Ket, a language spoken by fewer than 50 people in the remote Yenisei River basin. From 2005 to 2015 he was affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig, Germany), where in August 2006 he proposed evidence of a genealogical connection between Yeniseian, the language family to which Ket belongs, and the Na-Dene family of North America, the first widely accepted linguistic link between an Old World and a New World language family. He received his university's Excellence of Teaching Award in 1992 and Paul J. Olscamp Distinguished Research Award in 2011.
