  • Towards a History of Early Indo-European

    Winfred P LehmannARTICLEDiachronica1999

    The author argues that Indo-Europeanists must now set out to produce a history of the language to upgrade the 'purely systematic form' of Brug-mann's Grundriss (1897: xi) and Meillet's 'correspondences that are the sole reality for the comparatist to study' ( 1937[ 1922]:viii). Residues provide evidence for reconstructing Pre-Indo-Euopean, the earlier stage of Proto-Indo-European. The dialects must be investigated to identify more of these, and f…

  • Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture

    Open AccessWinfred P Lehmann, James P Mallory et al.ARTICLELanguage1999

    The Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture provides the fullest and most inclusive coverage yet compiled of the major Indo-European language stocks and their origins, and the conceptual range of the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European language. The encyclopedia also offers entries on selected archaeological cultures having some relationship to the origin and dispersal of Indo-European groups, and on some of the major issues of Indo-European cultural…

  • Indo-European linguistics today

    Winfred P LehmannARTICLEWORD1992References: 1

    Examination from a typological viewpoint of the linguistic data available in the early IE dialects has provided possibilities for explaining problems left unsolved by our predecessors. Much attention has been devoted to the phonological system, where the positing of laryngeals has led to clarification of the vocalic system, including ablaut, and to reassessment of the obstruent system. But the most significant advances have been achieved by viewi…

    A humanistic approach to language study recognizes the necessity of learning a language in its social and cultural contexts, encompassing the ecology and the material, social, religious, and linguistic cultures of the language studied. The need to teach language in relation to social and cultural values affects educational choices with respect to curriculum, materials, and approaches and should be central to national planning and programs for pro…

  • Bloomfield as an Indo-Europeanist

    Winfred P LehmannARTICLEHistoriographia Linguistica1987References: 6

    In Bloomfield's day, Indo-European studies had become ingrown and isolated from general linguistics. Bloomfield was one of those who contributed to restoring Indo-European linguistics to its proper place. His training, especially at Leipzig, gave him control of the data and the theory by which the achievements of the "Neo-Grammarians" had been effected. His mastery of these doctrines is evident in his 1933 Language, whose chapters 17-27 embody an…

  • Fick and Kleuker on Jones - Riga 1795

    Winfred P LehmannARTICLEHistoriographia Linguistica1986

    Avenues of the impact of Sir William Jones's Discourses, especially his Third, on the continent are of great interest, in view of the development of Indo-European historical linguistics there rather than in England. Translations may account for that impact, such as those carried out by Johann Christian Fick (1763-1821) and Johann Friedrich Kleuker (1749-1827). Published in 1795 in Riga, these translations with their notes indicate the information…

  • Typology and the Study of Language Change

    Winfred P LehmannARTICLEDiachronica1985

    In seeking to comprehend language, including language change, linguists need a framework. A century and a half of phonological study has provided such a framework, as evident especially in Trubetzkoy's Principles of Phonology. Change in phonological systems is clarified by attention to its generalizations. Parallel work in syntax, leading to important generalizations with reference to syntactic framework, has provided means for similar understand…

    A prominent current concern at celebration of two anniversaries is relationship between linguistic and literary studies. One of these commemorations, marking bicentenary of founding, in January 1784, of Asiatic Society of Bengal, is associated with beginnings of linguistics as a separate discipline, for in his address at third meeting of Society Sir William Jones delivered his influential insight into close relationship between Sanskrit and langu…

    This volume presents seven extensive essays by specialists in their respective fields of historical linguistics. The first essay after the Introduction states the principles presented in Directions for Historical Linguistics (1968) and assesses the progress made since then towards constructing a general theory of language change. Like the following essays on phonology and morphology, it poses new questions that have arisen in the increasingly amb…
