The area around the Baltic Sea has for millennia been a meeting-place for people of different origins. Among the circum-Baltic languages, we find three major branches of Indo-European Baltic, Germanic, and Slavic, the Baltic-Finnic languages from the Uralic phylum and several others. The circum-Baltic area is an ideal place to study areal and contact phenomena in languages. The present set of two volumes look at the circum-Baltic languages from a typological, areal and historical perspective, trying to relate the intricate patterns of similarities and dissimilarities to the societal background. In Volume I, surveys of dialect areas and language groups bear witness to the immense linguistic diversity in the area with special attention to less well-known languages and language varieties and their contacts.

This significant collection of papers is based upon the first conference on Baltic linguistics held in the United States. The articles, all in English, include discussions of vocalic phonemes of Old Prussian Elbing vocabulary, the state of linguistics in Soviet Lithuania, base shapes of Latvian morphemes, and Baltic verb inflection. In addition to serving as a fundamental sourcebook for linguists interested in the Baltic area, this volume will be of particular value to Slavic and Indo-European scholars engaged in comparative research work.

The East Baltic languages are well known for their conservative phonology as compared to other Indo-European languages, which has led to a stereotype that the Balts developed in isolation without much contact with other speech communities. This book challenges that view, taking a deep dive into the East Baltic lexicon and peeling away the layers of prehistoric borrowings in the process. As well as significant contact events with known languages, the lexicon also reveals evidence of contact with unattested languages from which previous populations must have shifted.

The area around the Baltic Sea has for millennia been a meeting-place for people of different origins. Among the circum-Baltic languages, we find three major branches of Indo-European —Baltic, Germanic, and Slavic, the Baltic-Finnic languages from the Uralic phylum and several others. The circum-Baltic area is an ideal place to study areal and contact phenomena in languages. The present set of two volumes look at the circum-Baltic languages from a typological, areal and historical perspective, trying to relate the intricate patterns of similarities and dissimilarities to the societal background. In Volume II, selected phenomena in the grammars of the circum-Baltic languages are studied in a cross-linguistic perspective.

This book is a collection of articles dealing with various aspects of the Baltic languages (Lithuanian, Latvian and Latgalian), which have only marginally featured in the discourse of theoretical linguistics and linguistic typology. The aim of the book is to bridge the gap between the study of the Baltic languages, on the one hand, and the current agenda of the theoretical and typological approaches to language, on the other. The book comprises 13 articles dealing with various aspects of phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, lexicon, and their interactions, plus a lengthy introduction, whose aim is to outline the state of the art in the research on the Baltic languages. The contributions are data-driven, being based on field-work, corpus research, and data published in the sources not accessible to the general linguistic audience. On the other hand, all contributions are informed in the relevant contemporary linguistic theories and in the advances of linguistic typology. Some of the contributions aim at a more detailed, accurate and theoretically informed description of the data, others look at the Baltic material from a more theoretical point of view, still others assume an areal-typological or contact perspective.

The Old Prussian language has always puzzled linguists. While other Baltic languages, such as Lithuanian and Latvian, have remained in use to the present day, Old Prussian was extinguished at the beginning of eighteenth century, and the extant Old Prussian linguistic corpus is quite limited in scope. Drawing on two bilingual vocabularies and three Lutheran Catechisms (as well as onomastic evidence and several other minor texts), this work critically explores the linguistic and historiographical contours of Old Prussian.

The purpose of this book is to suggest a possible scenario for the history of Baltic verbal morphology with relatively little attention to semantics and syntax. The various stages of development from a reconstructed Proto-Indo-European verbal system to the attested systems of the extant Baltic languages are proposed. Various innovative theories of the author and other contemporary specialists in Baltic historical linguistics are discussed and evaluated, in many cases making available the results of their work available in English for the first time. In addition to a large bibliography on the Baltic verb the book is supplied with an index of each word form discussed.

These conference proceedings present fourteen contributions to the Baltic languages, i.e. Latvian and Lithuanian. Their temporal horizon is both modern and historical: the present-day matters of word formation as well as mistaking agreements are complemented by synchronic investigations of the syntactic usage of cases, conjunctions and verb categories; nevertheless, word origins, the development of inflections, and the processes of depalatalisation have been researched by a diachronic approach.

This book includes twelve articles on the Finnic and Baltic languages spanning the topics of morphosyntax, typology and onomastics. Taking an areal, comparative, or sociolinguistic perspective the articles bring new data and knowledge regarding the contacts and (dis)similarities between the language varieties in the Circum-Baltic area.
