摘　　要：演化语言学是以达尔文进化论为基础的语言学,主要关注语言的起源与发展的问题。演化语言学与演化生物学等学科关注类似的问题,使用相似的研究方法。语言学可以借用生物学、遗传学、分子人类学、数理统计学等其他学科的先进理论与方法,与各学科合作共同推进对语言起源与演化的研究。本研究采用分子人类学和词源统计法中先进的计量方法研究了中国的语言和方言,对其发生学关系做了科学的测定与分类,为中国语言和方言的演化研究做了新的有益的探索。Evolutionary linguistics is based on Darwin＇ s evolutionary theory which is focused on the emergence and development of language. Evolutionary biology and evolutionary linguistics focus on similar issues and use the simi- lar methods. The advanced theories and methods of other disciplines such as biology , genetics, molecular anthropology and mathematical statistics should be introduced into linguistics. Cooperation between linguistics and other disciplines should be promoted for the research of language emergence and development. We studied the lan- guages and dialects in China with the advanced calculating methods which come from molecular anthropology and etymological statistics and provided a scientific measure and classfication of them. Newly useful exploration has been made with this advanced research.
