Title: | What is the Greek counterpart of Sanskrit th? (Unpublished handout) | Authors: | DE DECKER, Filip | Issue Date: | 2010 | Source: | Greek and Latin from an Indo-European Perspective, 3, Bratislava, July 7th-11th 2010. | Abstract: | 1. For the discrepancies between Greek and Sanskrit we suggest that the following reasons can be adduced : a) laryngeal aspiration in Sanskrit (*h2 and maybe also *h1). The presence of a laryngeal is often assumed on the Indic evidence alone, and this can be a circular argument. b) internal evolutions within Indic, be it phonetic (influence of a preceding s), morphological (aspiration in words of similar categories) or semantic (aspiration in words of similar meanings). 2. For the agreements we argue that if Greek and Proto-Indo-Iranian or Sanskrit have th, Proto-Indo-European (or at least East-Indo-European) had a *th as well. | Keywords: | Laryngeal aspiration, voiceless aspirates, tenues aspiratae, Indo-European | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/11372 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
