Studies in Baltic and Indo-European Linguistics
In honor of William R. Schmalstieg
Editors
This collection of twenty-nine research papers is dedicated to the eminent Balticist, Slavicist and Indo-Europeanist, William R. Schmalstieg in commemoration of his seventy-fifth birthday. It contains contributions by specialists of mainly Baltic and Indo-European linguistics which are reflective of Schmalstieg's own scholarly interests over the decades of his career, including technical aspects of Baltic and Indo-European phonology, morphology and syntax, etymology, language universals, the history of linguistics and the Baltic text tradition. Contributors include prominent scholars from the United States and Europe, both east and west. All papers are in English, and all linguistic material in less commonly known languages is provided with an English translation, making the contents accessible to a wider audience of readers.

“The volume refers to a very heterogeneous readership with very different theoretical and methodological expectations. This taken into consideration, its value consists not only in the scrupulous work invested into most of the papers reviewed here, and in original threads of argumentation in some of the papers, but it is amplified by the nice way of editing.”
Björn Wiemer, Universität Konstanz, in STUF 60:3 (2007)
