The honoree of this Festschrift has for many years now marked modern trends in diachronic and synchronic linguistics by his own publications and by stimulating those of numerous others. This collection of articles presents data-oriented studies that integrate modern and traditional approaches in the field, thus reflecting the honoree's contribution to contemporary linguistics. The articles relate to comparative data from (early) Indo-European languages and a variety of other languages and discuss the theoretical implications of phenomena such as linguistic universals, reconstruction, and language classification.

A Festschrift for Werner Winter on the Occasion of his 80th Birthday

Language in Time and Space

"Les connaissances sur les Gaulois et leurs langues progressent par la découverte et l’interprétation des documents épigraphiques. Le présent volume, issu d’un colloque international et pluridisciplinaire qui s’est tenu à l’université de Clermont-Ferrand, regroupe dix-neuf contributions (en français, anglais, allemand, italien, espagnol). Le livre s’articule en deux parties : la première porte sur les contextes historique, géographique et sociologique des inscriptions gauloises et gallo-romaines, ainsi que sur les données archéologiques de la découverte de la tablette de plomb de Chamalières en 1971 ; la seconde partie envisage les langues celtiques dans leurs divers aspects (phonétique, morphologie, syntaxe, onomastique, toponymie). Parmi les auteurs, certains reviennent sur des documents gaulois dont l’analyse reste controversée, et plusieurs considèrent d’autres langues qui relèvent, comme le gaulois, du celtique continental: celtibère, lépontique, etc., dont la connaissance a beaucoup progressé dans les dernières décennies. L’interprétation des faits gaulois et des autres langues celtiques du continent est enrichie constamment par la confrontation avec les données plus récentes des langues celtiques insulaires, parmi lesquelles les langues brittoniques. La dialectologie de l’ensemble de la famille celtique est placée dans des perspectives nouvelles. Par sa diversité, ce volume est susceptible d’intéresser à la fois les historiens de la Gaule et de la péninsule Ibérique dans l’Antiquité, les linguistes, comparatistes du groupe indo-européen, et les philologues spécialistes des langues celtiques."--Quatrième de couverture

Tocharian and Indo-European Studies (TIES) publishes central topics on the two closely related languages Tocharian A and B, attested in Central Asian Buddhist manuscripts dating from the second half of the first millennium AD. It focuses on philological and linguistic aspects of Tocharian, and its relation with the other Indo-European languages

Tocharian and Indo-European Studies vol.14

Werner Winter

This dictionary describes Tocharian A, one of two Tocharian languages documented in manuscripts of Buddhist texts from the second half of the 1st millennium CE, excavated in the oases of the Tarim basin. The dictionary contains also a thesaurus, based on all the identified texts in Tocharian A, including previously published and unpublished texts from various collections (Paris, Berlin). All forms of words, including variants occurring in the texts, are listed separately with reference to all occurrences and a sample of passages in transcription and translation. The meaning of a number of words has been better defined and, when necessary, corrected against previous glossaries. Much focus has been laid on phraseology and literary parallels with other Buddhist texts in Sanskrit and Uighur. The description of the verbal forms has been listed according to the stems of the paradigms. The sources of loanwords, e.g., from Tocharian B, Old and Middle Indo-Aryan, Iranian, Old Turkic, and Chinese, as well as the corresponding words in Tocharian B, are also given.

The Bronze Age and Early Iron Age Peoples of Eastern Central Asia

Birgit Anette Olsen

Tocharian and Indo-European Studies is the central publication for the study of two closely related languages, Tocharian A and Tocharian B. Found in many Buddhist manuscripts from central Asia, Tocharian dates back to the second half of the first millennium of the Common Era, though it was not discovered until the twentieth century. Focusing on both philological and linguistic aspects of this language, Tocharian and Indo-European Studies also looks at it in relationship to other Indo-European languages. This issue addresses topics such as the function and origin of the present suffix "-sk," verbal endings, the words for "fear" and "perfume," secular documents, and Tocharian glosses in Sanskrit manuscripts. Birgit Anette Olsen is a researcher and instructor at the University of Copenhagen and author of Derivation and Composition and The Noun in Biblical Armenian. Michaël Peyrot is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna. Georges-Jean Pinault is professor at the École pratique des hautes études in Paris. Thomas Olander is a researcher and instructor at the University of Copenhagen.
