Diachrony and Diachronica
A Network Model of Early Vedic Accent
This paper explores the possibilities of declarative lexical networks for modeling accent in Early Vedic. In the first part it is argued that compositional treatments of Vedic accent cannot account for some of the more marginal aspects of the system like free accentual variation, phonological constraints on accent placement, and analogical pattern extension. It is further shown that with its neglect of the paradigmatic perspective the composition…
Language change and the actuation problem
One of the structures denoting the future in Sanskrit is the so-called -tā́ -future, based on an agent noun and a present tense copula. Typologically, this grammaticalization path is unique. In this paper, this astonishing fact is tied to another unique feature of hysterotone -tŕ̥- nouns, their situative semantics, which forces a presupposition relating the event depicted by the noun to another event taken from the context. In ambiguous contexts,…
Accent or intonation? The vocative in Vedic. With an excursus on Greek
From the point of view of accentology the Vedic vocative is remarkable for two reasons: In clause-initial position, its first syllable bears an udātta irrespective of word accent. In all other positions, the vocative has anudātta throughout. These striking tonal patterns, however, do not reflect word accent. Rather, they are a means to render intonational patterns like the vocative chant with an initial high boundary tone and a low tone in parent…

Die i -Epenthese im Altindoarischen
In contemporary Indo-European studies, the Old Indo-Aryan i-epenthesis is usually treated as a result of a diachronic process, namely that of laryngeal vocalization. This view, however, necessitates the assumption of a strict and quite early divide between the Indo-Aryan and Iranian as subbranches of Indo-Iranian. In this paper, we challenge this particular view: we argue that the phonological development of laryngeals is basically uniform within…
Infinitive im R̥gveda
This book is an in-depth study of infinitives in Early Vedic, the language of the Rgveda. Infinitives in Vedic have been studied from various perspectives. This book, however, is the first to give a detailed account of the full range of the attested morphological, syntactic, and semantic types. Based on insights from formal semantics and syntactic theory, the author gives explicit analyses for each type, paying special attention to the grammatica…
Wackernagel in the Language of the Rigveda. A Reassessment
In this paper I discuss several models of Wackernagel cliticization in the language of the Rigveda. Following a short overview of Rigvedic syntax I argue for a discourse functional slot in the left periphery. I show that Hale (1987) and (1996) can be falsified and that Krisch (1990) and Hock (1996) suffer from major drawbacks. In my own account I argue for a prosodic approach, in which WL2 clitics are hosted by the first phonological word in a se…

Die Indogermanische Perfektreduplikation
Indo-European reduplication patterns have always been reconstructed by comparing reduplicated forms in attested languages. In this paper I will argue that what actually has to be compared are not individual forms but grammars. To demonstrate this approach I will develop reduplication grammars in an optimality theoretic framework for Gothic, Latin, Greek, and Old Indic. Based on these grammars a possible Indo-European reduplication grammar will be…
