    “Gamkrelidze and Ivanov’s wide-ranging and interdisciplinary work, superbly translated from Russian, is a must for every student of Indo-European prehistory. Its erudition is unsurpassed, and its unorthodox conclusions are a continuing challenge.” Prof. Dr. Martin Haspelmath, Max-Planck-Institut für Evolutionäre Anthropologie The authors propose a revision of views on a number of central issues of Indo-European studies. Based on findings of typol…

    Open AccessThomas V Gamkrelidze, V Ivanov et al.ARTICLEDiogenes1987References: 3

    Two levels can be distinguished in the structure of a language as a system of signs: the level of expression and the level of contents. Every sign of a language will thus be characterized by the unity of these two aspects. We can distinguish therein the signifying (.signans) and the signified (signatum), which correspond to the two levels of the language. Relations between the signifying and the signified in linguistic signs are determined by the…

  • The Migrations of Tribes Speaking the Indo-European Dialects from Their Original Homeland in the Near East to Their Historical Habitations in Eurasia

    Thomas V Gamkrelidze, В В Иванов et al.ARTICLESoviet Studies in History1983

    The historical distribution and routes of migration of the principal ancient Indo-European ethnic groups who first appear in ancient written records - the Hittite-Luwians, Indo-Iranians, and Greeks (the Cretan-Mycenae an Greeks and the Achaeans of Hittite sources) - can be explained more easily if one assumes that the territory of the original Indo-European homeland coincided with a region contained within eastern Anatolia, the southern Caucasus,…

  • The Ancient Near East and the Indo-European Problem

    Thomas V Gamkrelidze, В В Иванов et al.ARTICLESoviet Studies in History1983

    The main question associated with the problem of the actual existence of a common Indo-European proto-language in space and time is the question of chronology and the territory occupied by the Proto-Indo-European language, the break-up of which led to the formation of related historical dialects. The lower chronological limit for establishing the period of existence of a proto-language is deduced first of all on the basis of the dating of written…

  • The Problem of 'l'arbitraire du signe

    Thomas V GamkrelidzeARTICLELanguage1974Cited by: 4

    The nature of the verbal sign, as of the sign in any semiotic system, must be specified through the relationship between the signans and signatum, as well as through the relations of the given sign to the other signs of the system, both at the level of the signata and at that of the corresponding signantia. In defining a sign of a semiotic system, then, we must consider not only the ‘vertical’ relationship between the two components of a sign tak…

  • Sprachtypologie und die Rekonstruktion der gemeinindogermanischen Verschlüsse

    Open AccessThomas V Gamkrelidze, T Gamkrelidze et al.ARTICLEPhonetica1973

    Typological considerations both of phonemic structure and of phonemic change call for a restatement of the system of primitive Indo-European stops. The two series so far taken to be voiced and voiceless are reinterpreted as glottalized and voiceless aspirate, respectively. The languages believed to have undergone major consonant shifts (Germanic, Armenian, Hittite) turn out to be very conservative as far as their consonant systems are concerned.

  • A Typology of Common Kartvelian

    Open AccessThomas V GamkrelidzeARTICLELanguage1966Cited by: 2

    0.1 . The Kartvelian (South Caucasian) languages form a group of closely related dialects consisting of Georgian (with an old literary tradition going back to the 5th century A.D.), Megrelian, Chan (or Laz), and Svan. 0.2 . The Kartvelian languages may be viewed as descendants of a common language that existed in the past, of which different transformations yielded historically attested cognate linguistic systems. The ancestral common language (C…
