Riassunto

Professor Oswald Szemerényi's Einführung in die vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft, first published in 1970, remains the standard introduction to comparative Indo-European linguistics. It is available here in English for the first time, in a revised, enlarged, and updated fifth edition. The introductory section presents a general survey of the principles of diachronic-comparative linguistics, and the remainder of the book is a thorough and detailed analysis, according to those principles, of the phonological and morphological structure of the Indo-European group of languages. Each section of the book has a detailed bibliography, so that the student can progress from the general overview to a more detailed examination of particular topics.

Recensione:

draws confidently on data from all of the Indo-European branches. (Sino-Platonic Papers No.107, Sept. 2000.)

... this work is now so much more widely accessible ... it will be a truly fitting memorial to Oswald Szemerenyi. (J. H. W. Penney, Kratylos Edition 44 1999)

Szemerenyi's standard introduction to the comparative philology of Indo-European has thankfully been made available in English. Beautifully set out, it represents the thoroughly revised and (especially in respect of bibliography) enlarged edition of 1990. ... a masterpiece of clarity and conciseness. (J. C. Wright, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies)
