Situated at the crossroads of comparative philology, classics and
general historical linguistics, this study is the first ever
attempt to outline in full the developments which led from the
remotest recoverable stages of the Indo-European proto-language to
the complex verbal system encountered in Homer and other early
Greek texts. By combining the methods of comparative and internal
reconstruction with a careful examination of large collections of
primary data and insights gained from the study of language change
and linguistic typology, Andreas Willi uncovers the deeper reasons
behind many surface irregularities and offers a new understanding
of how categories such as aspect, tense and voice interact. Drawing
upon evidence from all major branches of Indo-European, and
providing exhaustive critical coverage of scholarly debate on the
most controversial issues, this book will be an essential reference
tool for anyone seeking orientation in this burgeoning but
increasingly fragmented area of linguistic research.
