The Indo-European Languages presents a comprehensive survey of the
individual languages and language subgroups within this language
family. With over four hundred languages and dialects and almost
three billion native speakers, the Indo-European language family is
the largest of the recognized language groups and includes most of
the major current languages of Europe, the Iranian plateau and the
Indian subcontinent. Written by an international team of experts,
this comprehensive, single-volume tome presents in-depth
discussions of the historical development and specialized
linguistic features of the Indo-European languages. This unique
resource remains the ideal reference for advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students of Indo-European linguistics and languages,
but also for more experienced researchers looking for an up-to-date
survey of separate Indo-European branches. It will be of interest
to researchers and anyone with an interest in historical
linguistics, linguistic anthropology and language development.
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new
perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes
state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across
theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that provide new
insights by approaching language from an interdisciplinary
perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for
cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in
its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards
linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as
well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for
a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the
ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes
monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes,
which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from
different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality
standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
The series is a platform for contributions of all kinds to this
rapidly developing field. General problems are studied from the
perspective of individual languages, language families, language
groups, or language samples. Conclusions are the result of a
deepened study of empirical data. Special emphasis is given to
little-known languages, whose analysis may shed new light on
long-standing problems in general linguistics.
