Abstract:

This book investigates archaisms and innovations in Tocharian nominal
morphology: it provides a comprehensive treatment of the morphology of
Tocharian grammatical gender, describing how it historically derived
from the Indo-European proto-language and why it typologically
deviates from most of the other Indo-European languages. The approach
is both synchronic and diachronic, with a heavier focus on diachrony.
The volume features a thorough study of a large number of nominal
classes and pronominal forms, which are analysed from a derivational
and an inflectional point of view in order to clarify their origin and
development from the perspective of Indo-European comparative
reconstruction. With its wide coverage of intricate phonological and
morphological patterns, The Tocharian Gender System is an important
contribution to the study of Tocharian nominal morphology as a whole.
