Abstract:

Modern languages like English, Spanish, Russian and Hindi as well as
ancient languages like Greek, Latin and Sanskrit all belong to the
Indo-European language family, which means that they all descend from
a common ancestor. But how, more precisely, are the Indo-European
languages related to each other? This book brings together pioneering
research from a team of international scholars to address this
fundamental question. It provides an introduction to linguistic
subgrouping as well as offering comprehensive, systematic and
up-to-date analyses of the ten main branches of the Indo-European
language family: Anatolian, Tocharian, Italic, Celtic, Germanic,
Greek, Armenian, Albanian, Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic. By
highlighting that these branches are saliently different from each
other, yet at the same time display striking similarities, the book
demonstrates the early diversification of the Indo-European language
family, spoken today by half the world's population. This title is
also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
