This 2005 volume represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the "Caucasian Linguistic Collection," a distinguished academic project founded and steered by the eminent Russian Caucasologist Mikhail E. Alekseev (1949–2014). The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the indigenous languages of the Caucasus, including the arrangement of specialized research articles that tackle complex problems in phonology, syntax, and morphology. Originally established as the "Dagestanian Linguistic Collection" in 1995, this 16th issue reflects the series' expanded scope, featuring contributions from leading Moscow-based linguists and regional specialists from across the North and South Caucasus.  As a vital primary source, this volume documents the systematic study of the Nakh-Daghestanian and other Caucasian language families during a period of significant fieldwork and theoretical advancement. The articles, primarily in Russian, offer unique data on endangered dialects and the sociolinguistic landscape of the region, bridging the gap between classical descriptive linguistics and modern typology. Published by "Academia," this issue is part of a 20-volume series that has become a cornerstone of modern Caucasiology. This softcover edition is a significant bibliographical rarity for linguists, historians of the Caucasus, and collectors of specialized scientific serials.
