Caucasian Perspectives - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The majority of articles in this volume were papers delivered in June 1990 in London at the Vth Colloquium of the Societas Caucasologica Europæa, an organisation which has grown since its modest inception in 1983 to boast the support of all those interested in the languages of the Caucasus both in Europe and North America. The core is supplemented by contributions sought by the editor. Topics covered ranges from the traditional philological skills of ethymology, textual analysis (specifically of the Caucasus material in the 17th century Turkish texts, and reconstruction, though accentuation, folklore, literary and historical criticism, to a selection of papers dealing with Caucasian aspects of the sociology of language. All four indigenous language-families of the Caucasus are represented (including Old Georgian), as is Ossetic.
