The Inflection of Sanskrit Nouns Found in Tocharian Texts
Sanskrit nouns in Tocharian texts are for the most part adapted only in inflection, not in phonology. This paper examines this adaption both as regards the form of the nominative singular and the formation of the plural. Evidence is presented for the view that many nouns, especially Sanskrit masculine a-stems and feminine a-stems, found their way into dialect A through the intermediary of dialect B. For other stems, however, evidence is largely l…

The Tocharian Verbal Stems in -tk
A CURIOUS FEATURE OF THE TOCHARIAN VERB is the number of roots ending in -tk-, altogether thirty in both dialects. Nor is the -tica characteristic of any particular tense or mood stem but goes rather throughout the verbal system, including adjectives and nouns etymologically connected with the verb. The following list attempts to be complete and it identifies, if possible, the present (indicative), the subjunctive and the preterit formations. The…
Tocharian Evidence and the Trubetzkoy-Benveniste Hypothesis
In the Festschrift für Paul Kretschmer 267–74 (1926), in an article entitled Gedanken über den lateinischen ā -Konjunktiv, N. S. Trubetzkoy proposed very convincingly the theory that the ā -subjunctive of Italic and Celtic was, in reality, originally an optative not a subjunctive. His thesis was that beside the athematic optative in jē/ī (Lat. siem, siēs, siet / sīmus, etc., Gk. eíēn/eîmen, Skt. syām, etc.), there were two distinct optatives for …
On the Formation of the Indo-European Demonstrative
In spite of the common practice of speaking of ‘pronominal inflection’ in explaining the origin of certain case endings in various Indo-European languages, and, in particular, when discussing the declension of adjectives in Germanic, it is generally recognized that the inflection of the pronoun, of all the categories of forms with which we have to deal in Indo-European grammar, is the most disparate and least tractable to reconstruction by the co…

The Formation of the Tocharian Subjunctive
A generation or two ago the writers of handbooks of Indo-European comparative grammar were for the most part considerably more definite in their conclusions regarding the form of the parent speech than their successors are today. This is particularly true with regard to the verbal system. In those days the repertoire of verb categories was based largely on the agreements between Greek and Sanskrit, some of which were indeed striking, and the devi…

Germanic Weak Verbs in -on: An Archaism
The immediate occasion for this note is the derivation, by Kurylowicz, of Goth. salb@a from *salb3jif, IE -ayeti; see his article Remarques sur le comparatif, Sprachgeschichte und Wortbedeutung (Festschrift Albert Debrunner) 251-7, specifically 253 lines 2 and 3. This derivation is of course only incidental to Kurylowicz' subject, being intended only to illustrate the possibility of such a contraction in Pre-Germanic (Kurylowicz says 'germanique …

Imperfect and Preterit in Tocharian
[The Proto-Tocharian imperfect, based on IE optative formations, is preserved in Kuchean (Toch. B) but lost in Turfanian (Toch. A) except for two relics, the imperfects of the verbs ‘be’ and ‘go’. The remaining Turfanian imperfects are in origin identical with preterit formations found in Turfanian or in Kuchean or in both, which are all derived from IE perfects and aorists.]

Notes on Louisiana-French
There are three distinct types of French spoken in Southern Louisiana. The first, that with which this paper deals primarily, I have chosen to call Standard Louisiana-French. The term may or may not be appropriate, but it is at least convenient. The correct name would be Creole-French, but unfortunately that name has been applied too often to the Negro-French dialects of Louisiana, the French Antilles, and the Mascarenes for its use to be unambig…

On the Present State of Indo-European Linguistics
For more than a generation now the bulk of scientific linguistic publication in America has been devoted to descriptive linguistics and the vast majority of the last generation of students of linguistics have devoted themselves largely to that field. The larger measure of scientific advance has accompanied the larger measure of devotion. That is to be expected. There have, of course, been notable exceptions. But I believe the facts will bear me o…

Problems of Tocharian Phonology
The forty odd years which have elapsed since the first publication of a Tocharian text leave much for the comparativist to do. As clear as is the affinity of both dialects A and B to Indo-European, even so inexplicable are still many of the countless special developments that have led to their remarkable appearance alongside the other languages of the family. It is, in fact, the problem of the relationship of Tocharian to the other Indo-European …

The Tocharian Palatalization (I)
