- This book is the first ever to draw a truly comprehensive picture of the development of the Indo-European verbal system from the earliest recoverable times down to classical antiquity. It combines methods and insights from historical and comparative linguistics, classical philology, and linguistic typology, three fields of research that rarely interact. Primary linguistic data from more than 30 different languages are assembled and analysed, the main focus being Greek (2000+ forms), Indo-Iranian (Sanskrit, Avestan: 500), Hittite (300), and Latin (200). With its bibliography comprising some 2000 items, the study closely engages with more than 150 years of earlier research.
