(Wissenschaftliche Disziplinen erreichen zu gewissen Zeite...)
Wissenschaftliche Disziplinen erreichen zu gewissen Zeiten im Laufe ihrer Entwicklung einen Zustand, bei dem theoretische Fragen gründlich behandelt werden müssen und Handbücher zu schaffen sind, um die neuen Fortschritte fixieren zu können. In dieser Lage befand sich die Sprachwissenschaft vor etwa hundert Jahren; die damals entstandenen Handbücher der Junggrammatiker sind bis in unsere Tage auf weiten Bereichen der sprachwissen- schaftlichen Forschung dominierend geblieben. Aber die neuen theore- tischen Aspekte in der Sprachwissenschaft gehen über die begrenzten Vorstellungen der Junggrammatiker hinaus; sie decken ein weites Ge- biet des Komplexes «Sprache und Kommunikation» ab und visieren das Problemfeld von verschiedenen theoretischen Standpunkten aus an. Das vorliegende Lehr- und Lernbuch will den Studenten in diese Theo- rien einführen und sie ihm plausibel machen. Um den Benutzer nicht mit zu vielen Einzelfragen zu überschütten, wurde die Darstellung streng auf das Wesentliche beschränkt. Sie ist als übersichtliche Einführung in die mannigfachen Versuche, das Problemfeld «Sprache und Kommunikation» zu begreifen, konzipiert worden. Die wichtigsten lin- guistischen Theorien seit Saussure werden in klarer Darstellung vorgeführt, so dass der Student in die Lage versetzt wird, mit diesen Grundkenntnissen auf dem Felde der linguistischen Theorie selbständig weiterarbeiten zu können. Eine Auswahlbibliographie des einschlägigen internationalen Schrifttums weist ihm dazu die weiteren Wege.

(Historical Linguistics provides a comprehensive and clear...)
Historical Linguistics provides a comprehensive and clearly written introduction to historical linguistic theory and methods. Since its first publication in 1962 the book has established itself as core reading for students of linguistics. This edition has been thoroughly revised. Drawing on recent linguistic and archaeological research Professor Lehmann incorporates key developments in the field. These include exciting advances in the history and development of writing: and in typological classification which allows better understanding of the structure of early languages. Well-illustrated with Indo-European examples, and supplementary exercises which draw on data from other language families as well, the book will enable students to carry out independent work in historical studies on any language family, as well as up-to-date work in Indo-European.

The description of PIE phonology found in our handbooks date in great part from the nineteenth century. When we maintain these descriptions we accept the foundations on which they are based. At present our data have been increased by Hittite, and our linguistic methodology refined. In this monograph I shall examine the new data and some well-known but unexplained data in accordance with our current linguistic methodology and propose a revised description of PIE phonology.
