Müller, Stefan

Zum Germanischen aus laryngaltheoretischer Sicht

Mit einer Einführung in die Grundlagen

[Germanic Languages from the Perspective of Laryngeal Theory. With an introduction to the foundations of laryngeal theory]

Series:Studia Linguistica Germanica 88

    Aims and Scope

    The book is concerned with a particular set of Indo-European sounds, the laryngeals, and the effect they had on the sounds, forms and etymologies of the Germanic languages. It contains detailed introductions to all the fundamentals of laryngeal theory, together with an introduction to the problematic history of the laryngeal theory which can be read without specialist knowledge. Research into the Germanic languages has not previously taken account of laryngeal theory, but with it many a sound law, etymology and morphological development can be reformulated or made more precise.

    Supplementary Information

    "Diese anspruchsvolle und kritische Analyse von Stefan Müller enthält viele wertvolle Informationen für Germanisten und Phonologen, die nach laryngaltheoretischen Antworten suchen."
    Renata Szczepaniak in: Zeitschrift für Dialektologie und Linguistik 3/2010

    "Für eine gründliche Beschäftigung mit der Materie bietet dieses Werk [...] eine sehr solide Basis, das seinen Wert dank des ausgewogenen und zurückhaltenden Urteils des Autors auch nicht schnell verlieren wird."
    Paul Widmer in: Zeitschrift für deutsche Philologie 80/2009

    "[...] this book is a very worthwhile contribution to the continuing project of detailed analysis of the effect of the PIE laryngeals on the daughter languages. It is impressively thorough in its approach, as exemplified by the effort to give so much explanatory material before embarking on its discussion of the laryngeals in Proto-Germanic."
