Die slavischen Sprachen / The Slavic Languages
-
Edited by:
Sebastian Kempgen
The handbook is intended to present a well balanced general view of the current state of Slavic linguistics and the Slavic languages with regard to their synchronic and diachronic description. In contrast to previous undertakings of a similar nature, this handbook is not intended to be a grammar with chapters on individual languages. Its systematic approach set this handbook apart from others.
- extansive description of the slavic languages with almost 200 articles and more than 2000 pages
- interdisciplinary approach considering neighbouring disciplines
- well-balanced representation comprising all slavic languages equally
- including comprehensive reference sections at the end of each article
