About the Author

Joseph Voyles is a member of the Departments of Germanics and (as adjunct professor) Linguistics at the University of Washington. His article Simplicity, Ordered Rules and the First Sound Shift (Language, 1967) pioneered the introduction of an early version of generative phonology into historical Germanic studies. His reanalyses of Germanic i-umlaut are summarized in his 1992 monograph Early Germanic Grammar: Pre-, Proto- and Post-Germanic Languages (Academic Press). Recently, he has defended his account of Germanic i-umlaut in The 'Conundrum' of Old Norse i Umlaut: A Reply to Iverson and Salmons (Journal of Germanic Linguistics,2005).
Charles Barrack is a member of the Departments of Germanics and (as adjunct professor) Linguistics at the University of Washington. His major publications include A Diachronic Phonology from Proto-Germanic to Old English Stressing West-Saxon Conditions (Janua Linguarum, 1975); Lexical Diffusion and the High German Consonant Shift (Lingua, 1976); Sievers' Law in Germanic (Peter Lang, 1998); and The Glottalic Theory Revisited: A Negative Appraisal" (Indogermanische Forschungen, 2002-03). He has also written extensively on various authors, e.g., Goethe and Nietzsche, and has authored a review grammar of German, Mosaik: Grammatik (Random House and McGraw-Hill).

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Harry Potter but an excellent resource for linguists
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2012

This book is a comprehensive resource on the development of the entire family of Indo-European languages. It is quite technical but gives plenty of examples using actual words, which makes the technical descriptions understandable.

One of the things that amazed me was the extent to which many of the words still in use today, both in English and in other modern languages with which I'm famiiar, have not changed in 5000 years!

They are never going to make a movie out of this book but if you love languages, this book can help you understand the close connections between all Indo-European languages.

2.0 out of 5 stars a good knowledge of phonology
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2017

This book fails me on so many levels. I guess even having read the other reviews, I thought this would be an enjoyable, informative read - but not.
I am not a beginner in IndoEuropean linguistics, historic or comparative linguistics...but by no means am I any kind of expert. I am just a curious passionate reader about the subjects. I care little about the directed audience level because I find that simplistic or complex texts have each broadened, reinforced, deepened my understanding and knowledge over time.

This book is thin on narration and discussion and perhaps this is my big fault with it.

This is more of a workbook exploring a basic description of PIE concepts of morphology and phonology and then blithely examines an early proto-descendant from several of the standard IE families in largely the same phonologic and morphologic terms with exercises for the reader to perform that attempt to follow and establish sound and structural changes which led from PIE to the proto language which daughters on.

Either this is just beyond my scope of knowledge or my scope of talent, or just beyond the scope of my interest.

This is not an introductory book; a good knowledge of phonology, its changes over time, its decidedly complex encoding in print and a good background in historic IE are required. A stable, working knowledge/definition of grammatical constructs is critical

4.0 out of 5 stars A Scholarly Work
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2010
Verified Purchase
The book is not suitable for absolute beginners as blurbed.Thick and large,it seems more like a reference book for those already well established in both linguistic and Indo-European studies terms.In order to approach this scholarly work,three introductory textbooks may be recommended as a prerequisite,to be read preferably in the order as follows: 1) Understanding Phonology by C.Gussenhoven and H.Jacobs;2)Historical Linguistics by L.Campbell;and 3)Indo-European Language and Culture by B.W.Fortson.The Three books are reasonably easy for understanding at the absolute beginners'level and may be covered in one semester or a little longer.To be a qulified Indo-Europeanist,you have to be a man or a woman of high intelligence plus hardworking to span the traditional discipline and the most modern linguistic ideas so that a breakthrough may be achieved,with,however,little money future.I give the book four stars for its scholarship,not for its approachability for beginners.Also,please note that the book is selective in content,not including the Lithuanian,Avestan,and Tocharian languages,for example.
