Abstract
This paper deals with recent hypotheses concerning the linguistic and genetic Prehistory of Europe, especially the prehistory of the Basque language, and centres on methodological considerations. The author evaluates the different ways in which genetic and linguistic information is passed on, and the difficulties which arise when matching both types of information. Special attention is paid to ancient place names as a source of data for reconstruction in linguistic prehistory, with a discussion of the methodological bases for «toponymic cognates». The paper ends by identifying the weaknesses and contradictions inherent in some of these hypotheses for the genetic and linguistic Prehistory of Europe and the Basque Country.
