Historical linguistics and philology

Abstract

The present volume contains a selection of papers prepared in connection with the International Conference on Historical Linguistics and Philology held at Blazejewko near Poznan from April 20 to 23, 1988. The papers cover a wide range of subjects from general (e. g. the relationship between philology and historical linguistics, the use of philology in historical linguistic investigations, etc.) to language and topic specific ones, sometimes extremely narrow in scope.
