Indo-European Linguistics
The Indo-European language family comprises several hun-
dred languages and dialects, including most of those spoken
in Europe, and south, south-west and central Asia. Spoken
by an estimated 3 billion people, it has the largest number
of native speakers in the world today. This textbook provides
an accessible introduction to the study of the Indo-European
proto-language. It clearly sets out the methods for relating the
languages to one another, presents an engaging discussion of
the current debates and controversies concerning their clas-
sification, and offers sample problems and suggestions for
how to solve them. Complete with a comprehensive glossary,
almost 100 tables in which language data and examples are
clearly laid out, suggestions for further reading, discussion
points and a range of exercises, this text will be an essential
toolkit for all those studying historical linguistics, language
typology and the Indo-European proto-language for the first
time.
