Zusatztext Jasanoff comes up with some of the strongest arguments yet made for assuming that Indo-European languages other than Hittite and Tocharian underwent a substantial period of common development! and this needs to be fitted into any model of the dispersal of the language family. Informationen zum Autor Jay Jasanoff received his Ph.D. in Linguistics from Harvard in 1968. He has spent most of his academic career at Cornell and Harvard, where he is currently Diebold Professor of Indo-European Linguistics and Philology and Chair of the Department of Linguistics. His publications include Stative and Middle in Indo-European (1978) and numerous articles on Indo-European linguistics and problems in the history of the individual Indo-European languages. Klappentext The "disconnects" between Hittite and the other early Indo-European languages have been extensively explored! and scholars have realized that the conventional picture of the parent language must be modified to account for the facts of Hittite. Jay Jasanoff proposes the most thorough and systematic resolution of the problem yet published! putting forth a revolutionary model of the Proto-Indo-European verbal system. Zusammenfassung Puts forward a revolutionary model of the Proto-Indo-European verbal system which will have an impact on the study of the Indo-European language family and marks a significant advance in the understanding of its history. This book reconciles what is known of this verbal system with the evidence of Hittite and the other early Anatolian languages.
