Etymological Dictionary of Persian

Garnik Asatrian
The Etymological Dictionary of Persian is the most comprehensive and up-to-date work in the field

of New Persian historical lexicology and etymology, since the publication of P. Horn’s Grundriss
(1893) and H. Hübschman’s Persische Studien (1895). It synthesizes the achievements of Iranian,
and Indo-European, comparative linguistics over the last century with regard to the study of
the inherited lexicon of Persian. The dictionary covers the principal vocabulary of the Persian
language attested in sources such as: Classical poetry, historical narratives, early Judaeo-Persian
texts, medical treatises, mediaeval dictionaries (“Farhangs”), as well as its use in modern urban

Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic

Guus Kroonen
Germanic is one of the best studied branches of the Indo-European language family.This new
etymological dictionary offers a wealth of material collected from both old and new Germanic
languages, ranging from Gothic to Modern Faroese, from Old English to the Swiss dialects. It
covers the largest part of the Proto-Germanic lexicon, containing around 7000 lexemes. A large
number of words for the first time receive an Indo-European reconstruction, and, as a result, the
dictionary offers a full implementation of the laryngeal theory. Special focus is further put on
the internal evolution of Germanic morphology and its consequences for the study of Germanic

Etymological Dictionary of Greek (2 vols)

Robert Beekes
with the assistance of Lucien van Beek
Greek is among the most intensely and widely studied languages known. Since the publication
of the last etymological dictionary of Greek, both the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European,
and our knowledge of the Greek substrate have led to numerous, often surprising new insights
into the history and formation of the Greek vocabulary. This dictionary is a treasure trove
covering 2000 years of Ancient Greek: from Mycenaean via Homer and the classical period to
lexicographers, such as Hesychius (5th century A.D.). It consists of 7500 entries with thoroughly

Handbook of the Syllable

Edited by Charles E. Cairns and Eric Raimy

The Handbook of the Syllable approaches the study of the phonology and phonetics of the syllable
with theoretical, empirical and methodological heterogeneity as its guiding principle. Since
the mid-nineteenth century, scholars in the phonetic and phonological sciences have found it
convenient to refer to the syllable, but definitions are scarce and none apply to all areas where
the syllable is frequently invoked. The Handbook’s seventeen chapters focus on empirical
studies of the syllable by presenting both new data and new kinds of data. The work addresses
the syllable in phonology, phonetics, experimental psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics,

Empirical Approaches to Linguistic Theory (EALT) is a new book series that aims to publish high-
quality works that are grounded in empirical data but at the same time advance theoretical
goals. The relevant notion of “theory” envisioned here is broad and eclectic, but also rigorous.
The contributing empirical data is similarly broadly defined. The new series will include single
or co-authored monographs on a single topic or linguistic issue, state-of-the art reports and/or
thematically coherent multi-authored volumes.
Prospective authors are invited to submit proposals for this series, to be vetted by the series
editors, in which the particular theoretical constructs and/or claims to be examined are
identified along with the empirical basis for the investigation.

Salish Applicatives
BRILL 2010
Kaoru Kiyosawa and Donna B. Gerdts
This book offers a comprehensive view of the morphology, syntax, and semantics of applicatives
in Salish, a language family of northwestern North America. Applicative constructions,
found in many polysynthetic languages, cast a semantically peripheral noun phrase as direct
object. Drawing upon primary and secondary data from twenty Salish languages, the authors
catalog the relationship between the form and function of seventeen applicative suffixes. The
semantic role of the associated noun phrase and the verb class of the base are crucial factors
in differentiating applicatives. Salish languages have two types of applicatives: relationals are

Exploring Inflectional Semantics in the Rigveda
Eystein Dahl
This book takes a fresh look at the relationship between aspect, tense and mood in Early Vedic,
the language of the Rigveda. Although numerous studies have examined the functional range
of individual verbal categories in this language, this work is the first attempt to approach
this problem from an overall, systemic perspective. With insights from formal semantics and

Untersuchungen zu den baltischen Sprachen

BRILL 2010
Daniel Petit
The Baltic languages (Lithuanian, Latvian, Old Prussian) are well known for their archaic
structure, but their contribution to Indo-European linguistics has hitherto often been
underestimated. The aim of this book is to give a thorough survey of some of the major issues
of Baltic linguistics. It consists of five chapters, devoted, respectively, to the problems of Baltic
dialectology, to the development of the Baltic accentual system, to the fate of the neuter gender
in Baltic, to the reconstruction of the Baltic verbal system and, finally, to the syntax of clitic
forms in Baltic.

The Tocharian Verbal System

Melanie Malzahn
This book presents a synchronic and diachronic study of all verbal classes and categories of the
Tocharian branch of Indo-European. It lists all attested Tocharian verbal forms, together with
semantic and etymological information. The material has been subject to careful philological
evaluation and incorporates unedited or unpublished texts of the Berlin, London, and Paris
collections. In addition, this study consistently takes into account the linguistic variation
within the Tocharian B language and the relative chronology of texts. Moreover, Tocharian

Sociolinguistics of the Luvian Language
Ilya Yakubovich
Luvian is the language of Anatolian hieroglyphic inscriptions and a close relative of Hittite.
This book explores the Luvian ethnic history through sociolinguistic methods, with an
emphasis on the interpretation of contacts between Luvian and its linguistic neighbors, such as
Hittite, Hurrian, and Greek. It is concluded that Luvian was originally spoken in the central part
of Anatolia. Subsequent Luvian migrations were connected with the expansion of the Hittite
state, where Hittite was the socially dominant language, but the Luvian speakers were more
numerous. The unstable balance between the Hittite and the Luvian speakers continued to shift 13

The Iguvine Tables (Tabulae Iguvinae) are among the most invaluable documents of Italic
linguistics and religion. Seven bronze tablets discovered in 1444 in the Umbrian town of
Gubbio (ancient Iguvium), they record the rites and sacral laws of a priestly brotherhood,
