Indo-European Language and Culture is a comprehensive overview of comparative Indo-European linguistics, covering both linguistic and cultural material.

This revised and expanded edition provides even greater coverage than the first edition, with new illustrations of inscriptions and text samples with translations and etymological commentary.

The book offers an introduction to the comparative method of linguistic reconstruction and discusses the culture and homeland of the Indo-Europeans, followed by detailed overviews of phonology, morphology, and syntax of reconstructed Proto-Indo-European.

Each branch's development from ancient to modern times is outlined, with illustrative text samples and exercises in all chapters.

This definitive introduction to the field is perfect for courses and includes a bibliography, maps, glossary, and comprehensive word and subject indexes.
