Information

Aims, contents and method of the course


The Tocharian branch of Indo-European was discovered during the Turfan expeditions at the end of the 19th century. The texts that survived contain almost exclusively Buddhist literature. The class will give an overview of the problems of Tocharian philology; in addition we will read a simply text.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria


The aim of the class is to make students acquainted with Tocharian texts, with the use of secondary literature, and with basic problems and questions of Tocharian philology. Since many questions of Tocharian grammar are still open to discussion, any linguistic research in this branch must be based in philology.

Examination topics


Lecture with handouts, reference to further literature; text reading in class.
