Lessons from the past for the present and the future -- On the origin of Tocharian terms for GRAIN -- The Hittite reflexive construction in a typological perspective -- Praise and Honor (Gothic hazjan, Old English hergan, and Russian čest’) -- The origin and nature of the linguistic parasite -- Realism in Indo-European Linguistics -- Turkic and Chinese loan words in Tocharian -- Categorizing the Japanese lexicon. A proposal with a background -- Notes on an ethnonym from East Nepal -- ‘But’ without switch-reference -- Fresh shoots from a vigourous stem: IE *u̯ih1ró- -- On the tracks of the Tocharian Guru -- Eventide in Hatti-land -- An integrated view on ablaut and accent in Indo-European -- An early rule of syncope in Tocharian -- The Latin imperfect in -bā-, the Proto-Indo-European root *bhu̯eh2- and full grade I forms from seṭ-roots with full grade II -- Conceptualization of agency in contemporary Polish -- Ouvrier, Arbeiter, workman, rabočij, obrero, operaio -- Classical Armenian Η AG AG ‘breath’ and OGEM ‘to speak’ -- Index -- Index of examples -- Tabula Gratulatoria
Summary: The honoree of this Festschrift has for many years now marked modern trends in diachronic and synchronic linguistics by his own publications and by stimulating those of numerous others. This collection of articles presents data-oriented studies that integrate modern and traditional approaches in the field, thus reflecting the honoree's contribution to contemporary linguistics. The articles relate to comparative data from (early) Indo-European languages and a variety of other languages and discuss the theoretical implications of phenomena such as linguistic universals, reconstruction, and language classification.
