Jacob Wackernagel, der Verfasser der "Vorlesungen uber Syntax", gilt als einer der grossten Vertreter des Fachs Indogermanistik und zahlt zu den bedeutendsten Basler Gelehrten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein Todestag jahrte sich 1988 zum 50. Mal und veranlasste die Indogermanische Gesellschaft, ihr Kolloquium in Basel abzuhalten. Dss fachliche Programm der Tagung wurde von Basler Vertretern der Klassischen Philologie in Zusammenarbeit mit indogermanistischen Kollegen von anderen Universitaten erstellt. Der Tagungsband enthalt Beitrage von Joseph Delz und Georg Peter Landmann "Erinnerungen an Jakob Wackernagel", Bernfried Schlerath "Jakob Wackernagel und die indogermanische Sprachwissenschaft", Ro...
Das Studienbuch Indogermanische Sprachwissenschaft bietet auf bewährte Weise eine Einführung in die Indogermanistik und gibt einen zeitgemäßen Überblick über Phonologie, Morphologie, Syntax und Lexikon der Familie der indogermanischen Sprachen sowie eine Übersicht über ihre Sprachzweige; neben den klassischen Sprachen Griechisch, Latein und Sanskrit werden in dieser völlig neu bearbeiteten Neuauflage auch die anderen Sprachzweige (wie Germanisch, Iranisch und Slawisch) samt den weniger bekannten (von Keltisch bis Tocharisch und von Albanisch bis Anatolisch) gleichermaßen miteinbezogen. Eine kurze Darstellung der Geschichte des Faches rundet die Einführung ab, die sich an Studierende der Indogermanistik und anderer linguistischer und philologischer Disziplinen richtet sowie an interessierte Laien.
This contribution in this volume discuss a large variety of issues from the realm of Indo-European phonology in its broadest definition, stretching from minute phonetic to more abstract levels of phonemics and morphophonemics and centering upon all varieties of Indo-European, including the protolanguage and its recent pre-stages and, in effect, all of its post-stages till this day.
With text in English & German, this book contains papers from the XVI International Conference on Historical Linguistics held at the University of Copenhagen.
New, fully updated edition incorporates the latest research in Indo-European Studies Written by an international team of experts providing a range of views in one volume Revised structure with languages following the order of attestation and new indexes for Proto-Indo-European reconstructed roots/words, Proto-Indo-European vocabulary and specific families/languages indexes (i.e Sanskrit, Latin, Gothic, English) for easier reference.
Particles have for the longest time been ignored by linguistic research. School-type grammars ignored them since they did not fit into pre-conceived notions of categories, and since they did not seem to enter into grammatical relations commonly discussed in the genre. Only in the last century did some publications discuss particles – and even then only from the perspective of their discourse and pragmatic functions, i.e. their dependance on certain previous contexts, and concluded that the function of particles for the grammar of sentences and their interpretation remains obscure. The current volume presents 11 new articles that take a fresh look at particles: As it turns out, particles inform many aspects of syntax and semantics, too – both diachronically and synchronically: Particles are shown to have fascinating syntactic properties with respect to projection, locality, movement and scope. Their interpretative contributions can be studied with the rigorous methods of formal semantics. Cross-linguistic and diachronic investigations shed new light on the genesis and development of these intriguing – and under-estimated – kinds of lexical elements.
From a synchronic point of view, the various accentuation systems found in the Baltic and Slavic languages differ considerably from each other. We find languages with free accent and languages with fixed accent, languages with and without syllabic tones, and languages with and without a distinction between short and long vowels. Yet despite the apparent diversity in the attested Baltic and Slavic languages, the sources from which these languages have developed – the reconstructed languages referred to as Proto-Baltic and Proto-Slavic respectively – seem to have had very similar accentuation systems. The prehistory and development of the Baltic and Slavic accentuation systems is the main topic of this book, which contains sixteen articles on Baltic and Slavic accentology written by some of the world’s leading specialists in this field.
This Textbook on Indo-European Linguistics is designed as an introduction to the field. It presents current topics and questions in Indo-European linguistics in a clear and informative manner. This is the English translation of the eight edition of the work first published by Hans Krahe and it takes account of more recent research. While Krahe only considered phonology and morphology, the edition also includes a comprehensive account of syntax and lexis. Manfred Mayrhofer assisted with the section of phonology; Matthias Fritz wrote the section on syntax and provided support for the project as a whole.
