Untersuchungen Zu Den Baltischen Sprachen 340 P., Hardcover

The Baltic languages (Lithuanian, Latvian, Old Prussian) are well known for
their archaic structure, but their contribution to Indo-European linguistics
has hitherto often been underestimated. The aim of this book is to give a
thorough survey of some of the major issues of Baltic linguistics. It consists
of five chapters, devoted, respectively, to the problems of Baltic
dialectology, to the development of the Baltic accentual system, to the fate of
the neuter gender in Baltic, to the reconstruction of the Baltic verbal system
and, finally, to the syntax of clitic forms in Baltic.
