Abstract
This chapter addresses the question of whether some structural features shared by the Transeurasian languages can be explained by inheritance. For this purpose, I first establish 20 structural features shared by the Transeurasian languages that are shared to a lesser extent by neighboring non-Transeurasian languages. Next, I propose a number of diachronic typological criteria, which indicate that the Transeurasian languages can be characterized as a “typological heritage”, even if this still leaves room for the concepts of “diffusion” and “language area”.
