About the Book

Das Tocharische, ein erst im letzten Jahrhundert entdeckter Hauptsprachzweig der indogermanischen Sprachfamilie, dessen Sprecher am Rande der Seidenstrasse im zentralasiatischen Tarim-Becken lebten und der Ende des 1. Jahrtausends n. Chr. ausstarb, gewinnt in den letzten Jahrzehnten in der historisch-vergleichenden indogermanischen Sprachwissenschaft zunehmend an Bedeutung. Der rasante Fortschritt in der sprachhistorischen Erschliessung des Tocharischen hat in vielen Fallen zu einer Revision von Entwicklung und Rekonstruktion der indogermanischen Grammatik gefuhrt. Viele Studien aus jungerer Zeit haben eine Anzahl wahrscheinlicher Archaismen in Lexikon, Morphologie und Syntax aufgedeckt, die mitunter noch einen Zustand konservieren, der alter ist als der, der vom Griechischen und Indoiranischen reflektiert wird. Der vorliegende Band vereint eine Serie von Vortragen, die anlasslich der Ringvorlesung "Indogermanische Sprachen und Kulturen an der Seidenstrasse" im Sommersemester 2009 an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen von fuhrenden Vertretern des Faches gehalten wurden und der Frage sprachlicher Archaismen und Innovationen des tocharischen Sprachzweiges gewidmet sind. In ihren Ergebnissen demonstrieren die Beitrage die Brisanz und wachsende Bedeutung des tocharischen Sprachzweigs fur die Indogermanistik. Sie behandeln viele thematische Brennpunkte der indogermanistischen Diskussion vergangener Jahrzehnte wie z. B. die Entwicklung der nominalen Genera des Indogermanischen, die Entwicklung des indogermanischen Verbalsystems und der Kasusfunktionen. After decades of relative neglect, the Tocharian languages are assuming an increasingly prominent role in Indo-European studies. The enormous progress in Tocharian historical phonology and morphology since the 1960s has called into question the longstanding perception of this branch as an aberrant offshoot, of little importance for the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European. Recent studies, particularly of the verb but also of the noun, phonology, and lexicon, have uncovered a number of probable archaisms, reflecting an older state of affairs than that reconstructible on the basis of the classical Indo-European languages alone. New progress in Tocharian paleography has also led to a greatly improved understanding of the evolution of Tocharian B, and the stages of the language represented in our surviving documents. The present volume arose from a series of lectures delivered in 2009 on the theme of "Indo-European Languages and Cultures on the Silk Road" at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munich, together with contributions from other leading names in Tocharian linguistics. The papers included here treat problems of Tocharian grammar which are of direct relevance for the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European, and for determining the place of Tocharian among the Indo-European languages. They demonstrate the importance of Tocharian for some of the most intensely discussed problems of contemporary Indo-European linguistics, such as the prehistory of the collective and feminine, nominal derivation and ablaut, or the reconstruction of the verbal system....
