Hill: /<br>A Lexicon of Tibetan Verb Stems as Reported by the Grammatical Tradition/.<br>(Studia Tibetica. V.)<br>München: Kommission für zentral- und ostasiatische Studien, Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, 2010.<br>xxxiv, 349 S., Brosch. € 58,00. - ISBN 978-3-7696-1004-8.<br><br>Brief description:<br><br>This lexicon systematically presents the primary verb stems of Classical Tibetan as recorded in nine sources spanning the seventeenth to twentieth centuries. The currently available dictionaries frequently and inexplicably differ as to the four stems of the Tibetan verb. This work serves as a first step in reconciling these conflicting reports and also provides a comprehensive survey of modern scholarship on the Tibetan verbal system. An index of every orthographic form appearing in the text facilitates easy access. Not only does the dictionary stand as an important milestone in the study of the Tibetan verbal system, but it is also an invaluable resource for students and readers of Classical Tibetan.<br><br>Review copies of our publications ("Studia Tibetica" series and "Wörterbuch der tibetischen Schriftsprache", cf. list of publications, attachment to this mail)are available from the publisher:<br><br>Kommission für zentral- und ostasiatische Studien der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Alfons-Goppel-Str. 11, 80539 München, Email: <a href="mailto:post@zos.badw.de">post@zos.badw.de</a><br><br>Yours sincerely<br><br>PD Dr Johannes Schneider<br><br>-- <br>Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften<br>Kommission für zentral- und ostasiatische Studien<br>Alfons-Goppel-Str. 11<br>D-80539 München<br><br>Tel. 0 89 / 23 03 11 19 4<br> 23 03 11 27 8<br><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
