Abstract:

Wo kommt B-tocharisch ātstse ‚dicht‘ oder A-tocharisch märtār ‚kurz‘
her? Hier finden Sie die Antwort auf diese und viele andere strittige
Fragen zur sprachlichen Vorgeschichte des Tocharischen. Dieses Buch
bietet eine äußerst ausführliche etymologische Analyse von 210
synchron undurchsichtigen tocharischen Adjektiven und liefert viele
neue und originelle Erklärungen für mehrere bisher obskure tocharische
Wörter. Die vorgeschlagenen Etymologien geben uns neue Einblicke in
die tocharische Phonologie und Morphologie und ermöglichen uns, die
phylogenetische Beziehung zwischen dem Tocharischen und den anderen
indogermanischen Sprachzweigen besser zu verstehen. Zugleich leistet
dieses Buch einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer verbesserten
Rekonstruktion des Urindogermanischen.
Where does Tocharian B ātstse ‘dense’ or Tocharian A märtār ‘short’
come from? Here, you will find the answer to this question and to many
other debated issues concerning the linguistic prehistory of
Tocharian. This book offers an extremely detailed etymological
analysis of 210 synchronically opaque Tocharian adjectives and
provides plenty of novel and original explanations for several so far
obscure Tocharian words. The proposed etymologies give us new insights
into Tocharian phonology and morphology and help us better understand
the phylogenetic relationship between Tocharian and the other
Indo-European branches. At the same time, this book makes a
significant contribution to an improved and up-to-date reconstruction
of Proto-Indo-European.
