Established in 1987, Tocharian and Indo-European Studies (TIES) is
an international scholarly journal with contributions in English,
German, and French. The journal's central topic is formed by the
two closely related languages Tocharian A and B, attested in
Central Asian Buddhist manuscripts dating from the second half of
the first millennium AD. The journal focuses on philological and
linguistic aspects of Tocharian, and its relation with the other
Indo-European languages. Volume 11 of the series includes the
following: How to Tell a Sheep's Age and Some Other Animal
Husbandry Terms in Tocharian B * New and Improved Words: Additions
and Corrections to A Dictionary of Tocharian Part I: Words
Beginning with Vowels * Tocharian 'Carnel' * The Tocharian A Forms
nas=am, nas=am and n=am, n=am Revisited * Ein singularer Fall von
verbalem Ablaut im Tocharischen? * Reflexes of the Deletion and
Insertion of Proto-Tocharian in Tocharian B.
"Tocharian and Indo-Eu-ropean Studies" is the central publication
for the study of two closely related languages, Tocharian A and
Tocharian B. Found in many Buddhist manuscripts from central Asia,
Tocharian dates back to the second half of the first millennium of
the Common Era, though it was not discovered until the twentieth
century. Focusing on both philological and linguistic aspects of
this language, "Tocharian and Indo-Eu-ropean Studies "also looks at
it in relationship to other Indo-European languages.

One of the most detailed and comprehensive studies of Indo-European
phonology, this book brings together leading linguists working in
Indo-European studies to examine both the broadest definitions of
the group -- from minute phonetics to abstract levels of phonemics
centring on all varieties of Indo-European -- and individual
branches, with contributions on Celtic, Anatolian, Germanic,
Indo-Iranian, Italic, Armenian, and even Euphratic.
This volume contains selected papers from a symposium on "Internal
Reconstruction in Indo-European: Methods, Results and Problems,"
which formed a subsection of the 16th International Conference on
Historical Linguistics held at the University of Copenhagen.
Internal reconstruction is what the historical linguist resorts to
when the possibilities of more traditional comparative
reconstruction have been exhausted. This is certainly the case at
the level of the protolanguage. When Proto-Indo-European has been
reconstructed on the basis of a painstaking comparative analysis of
the entire data field drawing on the full range of extant IE
languages, there are, quite often, questions still left unanswered.
Comparable methods can be applied to later stages of the language
where the immediate prehistory is not accessible or corroboration
is wanted. Today, internal reconstruction is routinely applied at
all levels of historical linguistic analysis as one of the tools
that open up the linguistic
