Introduction to Indo-European Linguistics by Oswald Szemernyi

Introduction to Indo-European Linguistics by Oswald Szemernyi

This translation of the German edition, first published in 1970, introduces the standard text on the comparative-historical method to an English-speaking audience. After surveying the general principles of diachronic-comparative linguistics, the book uses these principles to analyze the phonological and morphological structure of the Indo-European language group. Each section of the book has a detailed bibliography, so readers can progress from the general overview to a more in-depth examination of particular topics.

draws confidently on data from all of the Indo-European branches* Sino-Platonic Papers No.107, Sept. 2000. *
... this work is now so much more widely accessible ... it will truly be a fitting memorial to Oswald Szemerenyi * J. H. W. Penney, Kratylos Edition 44 1999 *
Szemerenyi's standard introduction to the comparative philology of Indo-European has thankfully been made available in English. Beautifully set out, it represents the thoroughly revised and (especially in respect of bibliography) enlarged edition of 1990. ... a masterpiece of clarity and conciseness. * J. C. Wright, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies *
