The book will show that amateur interpretations of the origin of words (for example, “sparrow” from “thief”) are not scientifically justified that etymology as a science of the origin of words includes special knowledge and research.
You will learn about the “new chronology” of academician A. Fomenko, who uses amateur linguistics, which indicates the insecurity of his historical concept and causes a lot of debate and discussions.
You will see how the real etymology “works” on the example of the linguistic analysis of the “Veles Book” - a text written, according to some authors, by Novgorod Volkhvami in the 9th century.
In modern publications, amateur discussions about the origin of words based not on the science of the history of languages, but on a naive idea, that such reasoning do not require any special knowledge, quite simple conjectures are noticeable. At the same time, on the basis of amateur guesses about the origin of words in such essays, completely fantastic conclusions about the history of entire peoples are often built. In the work of A. A. Zaliznyak “From the notes of amateur linguistics” it shows how such reasoning differs from professional linguistics and why they have no chance of revealing the true history of words. Particular attention is paid to the most vivid example of the use of amateur linguistics to build a fictitious history of many countries - the so -called new chronology A. T. Fomenko.
The second edition also includes the article “On Veles Book”. ”

After all, we do not have mathematics - all arguments are not absolute. So if the researcher has a strong deep incentive to “pull” in a certain direction, then the specifics of the case, alas, easily allows you to realize this traction - namely, allows you to find more and more arguments in the right benefit, imperceptibly fussing the significance of the arguments of your Parties and minimize the significance of opposite arguments. I would like to speak out in defense of two simple ideas, which were previously considered obvious and even just banal, and now they sound very non -notable:
1) The truth exists, and the purpose of science is its search.
2) In any question under discussion, a professional (if he is really a professional, and not just a carrier of state -owned titles) in a normal case more right than an amateur
