Abstract
The concluding chapter explains the evolutionary causes of linguistic universals (according to Ch. Hockett), considering the analysis conducted in the book. The most difficult problem is the one of linguistic kinship. Since the strategy of reconstruction of common protolanguages goes back to the “obvious” origin of Romance languages from Latin, we had to deal as much as possible with this question, which turned out to be extremely dark. At the same time, the proposed answers to it are questionable. Therefore, based on macrosocial principles of linguistic evolution, an alternative view of the origin of Romance languages has been presented, opening new heuristic possibilities for linguistic reconstructions.
