Indo-European Word Formation: Proceedings from the International Conference in Copenhagen 20-22 October 2002

by Birgit Anette Olsen (Editor), James Clackson (Editor)

Overview

Twenty papers from an October 2000 conference of the same name (subtitled "Inventory and Analysis") discuss a variety of topics in the field of Indo-European nominal and verbal word formation and in the borderland between morphology and syntax. Both philological and typological issues are discussed. In a few papers on Euphratic and Nostratic, the mainstream Indo-Europeanist outlook is challenged. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
