The area around the Baltic Sea has for millennia been a meeting-place for
people of different origin. Among the circum-Baltic languages, we find
three major branches of Indo-European -- Baltic, Germanic, and Slavic, the
Baltic-Finnic languages from the Uralic phylum and several others. The
circum-Baltic area is an ideal place to study areal and contact phenomena
in languages.
The present set of two volumes look at the circum-Baltic languages from a
typological, areal and historical perspective, trying to relate the
intricate patterns of similarities and dissimilarities to the societal
background.
In volume I, surveys of dialect areas and language groups bear witness to
the immense linguistic diversity in the area with special attention to less
well-known languages and language varieties and their contacts.
In volume II, selected phenomena in the grammars of the circum-Baltic
languages are studied in a cross-linguistic perspective.
