Abstract:

Karl Brugmann (1849-1919) was professor of comparative language sciences atFreiburg im Breisgau when he began publishing his monumental, multi-volumecomparative grammar of the Indo-European languages, synthesising the first70 years of research in a rapidly developing academic subject, andidentifying areas for future investigation. Volume 1, on phonology, beginswith an introduction to Indo-European philology and provides abibliographic orientation which is itself a fascinating snapshot of thefield. The main part of the book focuses in turn on eachProto-Indo-European sound and its reflexes in the earliest attestedlanguages of each language family (Sanskrit, Avestan, Armenian, Greek,Italic, Germanic, Old Irish, Balto-Slavic). Comparisons are also madewithin families, for example between Gothic and Old English. Brugmann alsodiscusses Ablaut and sound changes including elision, contraction andlengthening as well as intonation and stress.

Abstract:

The monumental, multi-volume comparative grammar of the Indo-Europeanlanguages by Karl Brugmann (1849-1919) provided a synthesis of the first 70years of research in a rapidly-developing academic subject, and identifiedareas for future investigation. Volume 2, split into three parts, coversmorphology, roots and inflection, beginning with nouns and continuing withpronouns and verbs. It begins with a substantial introduction that includesbibliographic information, and then focuses in turn on eachProto-Indo-European feature and its reflexes in the earliest attestedlanguages of each language family (Sanskrit, Avestan, Armenian, Greek,Italic, Germanic, Old Irish, Balto-Slavic). Comparisons are also madewithin families, for example between Gothic and Old English. Owing to itslength, the original publisher bound this volume in two parts, paginated asa single sequence; in this reissue, it is divided into three parts,maintaining the same pagination.

Part I:1. Nominale (und pronominale) Stammbildung und Flexion;2. Nominale Zusammensetzung (Nominalkomposita);3. Reduplicierte Nominalbildungen;4. Nomina mit stammbildenden Suffixen;5. Nomina ohne stammbildende Suffixe (Wurzelnomina).
