Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is meant to be an introductory course for students of Indo-European linguistics. It will mainly concentrate on the Indo-European background of Ancient Greek phonology and morphology. Following basically the structuring of what is still the least worse manual in this field by today, that is, Helmut Rix's "Historische Grammatik des Griechischen", I will correct the innumerable blunders and shortcomings to be found in this extremely illinformed and misleading book, which attests to very low scholarly standards in current Indo-European studies of Germany.
