The Tocharian Verbal System
Series:
Author:
This book presents a synchronic and diachronic study of all verbal classes and categories of the Tocharian branch of Indo-European. It lists all attested Tocharian verbal forms, together with semantic and etymological information. The material has been subject to careful philological evaluation and incorporates unedited or unpublished texts of the Berlin, London, and Paris collections. In addition, this study consistently takes into account the linguistic variation within the Tocharian B language and the relative chronology of texts. Moreover, Tocharian offers crucial evidence for the reconstruction of the PIE verbal system, and is also of interest to the general linguist for the interaction of voice and valency.
Melanie Malzahn, Dr. phil. (2001) in Linguistics, University of Vienna, is currently APART fellow of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and lectures at the University of Vienna. She has published mainly on PIE morphology, Vedic, and Tocharian, including the edition of Instrumenta Tocharica (Carl Winter, 2007).
"Тем не менее нет никаких сомнений, что этот фундаментальный труд представляет собой поистине бесценный Instrumentum Tocharicum – из тех, что верой и правдой служат исследователям не годы, а долгие десятилетия." - Ilja Itkin, in: Voprosy jazykoznanija, no. 2 (2012), pp. 130-137
All those interested in Indo-European studies, the languages of Central Asia, verbal morphology, especially valency change, notably linguists and philologists of IE and Central Asian languages.
