Variation and change in Tocharian B de Michaël Peyrot

Variation and change in Tocharian B: Leiden Studies in Indo-European, cartea 15

Autor Michaël Peyrot
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 dec 2007
Variation and change in Tocharian B is a systematic and extensive treatment of linguistic variants attested in this most archaic of the two Tocharian languages, which are known through manuscripts from the first millennium CE found along the Northern Silk Road in Xīnjiāng, China. The precise nature of the variants in Tocharian B has been the issue of a long debate. A careful survey of all variants from a wealth of published and unpublished texts shows that most of the variation is due to chronological development. Lists of text classification criteria and overviews of text types make this volume an ideal handbook for the study of the Tocharian lexicon, grammar, and manuscripts. It is of interest for scholars and students of Tocharian and Indo-European alike, and it will be both practical and indispensable for checking variants and their relative chronology.

Recenzii

"If it is not already, this book will become an essential volume on the desk of researchers of Tocharian B. … solid and convincing … may represent a turning point in Tocharian B studies … It put historical linguistic analyses of B on much firmer footing." – in: Journal of the American Oriental Society 132/3 (2012)
"Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass P[eyrot] in dieser hochbedeutsamen und vollauf gelungenen Arbeit zeigen kann, dass Stumpfs These … zweifellos richtig ist. Alle Studien zu tocharischem Sprachmaterial werden in Zukunft die von P[eyrot] vorgenommene chronologische Einordnung der T[ocharisch-]B-Sprachvarianten und seine Klassifikation der Texte zu berücksichtigen haben." – in: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 105 (2010), 2
"P[eyrot]’s study has greatly expanded our understanding both of the nature of variation within the TB documents and of the relation between the spoken and written languages over a time span of several centuries, far longer than previously assumed … it is noteworthy that the chronology arrived at by P is consistent with the known political and cultural history of the Tarim Basin. … P’s book is an excellent example of corpus research on an extinct language, one where our ignorance of individual writers’ identities and much of the external history forces us to reconstruct a plausible picture of synchronic and diachronic variation on the basis of the texts themselves." – in: LANGUAGE 85/2 (2009)
