Description and Table of Contents
Description
Volume II of this Manual deals with Indo-European nominal and
verbal morphology; the morphology of the pronouns will be dealt with in
volume III. The treatment of nominal and verbal morphology is preceded by
an introduction in which the authors present their theory of root
formation in Indo-European and their view of particular, idiosyncratic
grammatical mechanisms. The description and reconstruction of the
respective word classes follows the procedure based on F.R. Adrados'
theory of the gradual dialectalization of Indo-European. The starting
point is the reconstruction of nominal and verbal morphology at the level
of "Indo-European III", i.e. the linguistic stage following the separation
of the Anatolian group from the rest of Indo-European. Subsequently, a
description is offered of the situation of "Indo-European II", i.e. the
linguistic stage prior to the separation of the Anatolian languages.
Finally, a reconstruction of "Indo-European I", the pre-inflectional stage
of Indo-European, is attempted.
