Abstract:

Before the arrival of the Indo-European Greeks in the area around the Aegean
Sea, a non-Indo-European language was spoken there which was eventually
replaced by Greek. Although no written texts exist in this Pre-Greek language,
Robert Beekes shows that we can reconstruct elements of its phonology and
morphology on the basis of the substantial amount of Pre-Greek vocabulary
which was absorbed by Greek. In addition to the general characteristics of
Pre-Greek, Beekes provides a complete overview of the evidence, comprising
over 1100 Greek etyma which are certainly of Pre-Greek origin. The book thus
opens a window on the first Pre-Indo-European language of prehistoric Europe
to have left a trace in history.
