Download or read book Studies in Old Prussian written by William R. Schmalstieg and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Old Prussian remedies the lack of a single source (volume) which critically surveys the entire literature devoted to the subject since the end of World War II. It provides a thorough review of the literature of the origin and history of the Old Prussian people as well as comprehensive review of the recent literature devoted to the morphology and phonology of the language. As a result, this volume has a unique value to students of Old Prussian. Of great importance is the inclusion of a critical analysis of the newly discovered Basel epigram and the new version of Simon Grunau's vocabulary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Prussian language has always puzzled linguists. While other Baltic languages, such as Lithuanian and Latvian, have remained in use to the present day, Old Prussian was extinguished at the beginning of eighteenth century, and the extant Old Prussian linguistic corpus is quite limited in scope. Drawing on two bilingual vocabularies and three Lutheran Catechisms (as well as onomastic evidence and several other minor texts), this work critically explores the linguistic and historiographical contours of Old Prussian.

Download or read book Baltica Balto Slavica written by Frederik Herman Henri Kortlandt and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a discussion of the phonological, accentological and morphological development of the Baltic languages and their Indo-European origins. The first half of this book is about Baltic historical phonology and morphology and the second half is about Prussian. The emphasis is on the relative chronology of sound changes and on the development of the flexional and derivational categories of nouns, pronouns and verbs. It is argued that the Balto-Slavic acute tone was a glottal stop which developed from the Indo-European laryngeals and from Winter's law and that the original circumflex continues other vocalic sequences. Special points of attention are the gen.pl. endings, ē and ī/jā stems, and thematic and athematic present endings. The second half of the book contains a comparative analysis of the three Prussian catechisms, resulting in the conclusion that they represent three consecutive stages of a real linguistic system. It includes a discussion of the Prussian accent shift, initial vowels, diphthongs, infinitives, verb classes, participles and traces of ablauting paradigms. The final part of the book offers a full linguistic interpretation of the three Prussian catechisms on the basis of the preceding chapters, followed by a list of references and a word index. The book is of interest to Balticists, Slavicists, Indo-Europeanists, and other historical linguists.
