The Life Cycle of Language
This volume brings together an international group of linguists from a diverse range of research backgrounds to explore the cycles of change in the world's languages. The chapters in this book draw on data both from languages from the distant past, such as Hittite and Proto-Bantu, and from a wide range of present-day languages.
Personal Names in Cuneiform Texts from Babylonia (c. 750–100 BCE)
Personal names provide fascinating testimony to Babylonia's multi-ethnic society. This volume offers a practical introduction to the repertoire of personal names recorded in cuneiform texts from Babylonia in the first millennium BCE. In this period, individuals moved freely as well as involuntarily across the ancient Middle East, leaving traces of their presence in the archives of institutions and private persons in southern Mesopotamia. The multilingual nature of this name material poses challenges for students and researchers who want to access these data as part of their exploration of the social history of the region in the period. This volume offers guidelines and tools that will help readers navigate this difficult material. The title is also available Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Word-Formation - Language Contact and Diachrony
This reader is part of a five-volume-edition and comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the art in word-formation.

The influence of diachronic change on the productivity patterns is addressed as well as the role of language contact.
Handbook of Comparative and Historical Indo-European Linguistics
This book presents the most comprehensive coverage of the field of Indo-European Linguistics in a century, focusing on the entire Indo-European family and treating each major branch and most minor languages. The collaborative work of 120 scholars from 22 countries, Handbook of Comparative and Historical Indo-European Linguistics combines the exhaustive coverage of an encyclopedia with the in-depth treatment of individual monographic studies.
Word-Formation
This handbook comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the art in word-formation. The five volumes contain 207 articles written by leading international scholars. The XVI chapters of the handbook provide the reader, in both general articles and individual studies, with a wide variety of perspectives: word-formation as a linguistic discipline (history of science, theoretical concepts), units and processes in word-formation, rules and restrictions, semantics and pragmatics, foreign word-formation, language planning and purism, historical word-formation, word-formation in language acquisition and aphasia, word-formation and language use, tools in word-formation research. The final chapter comprises 74 portraits of word-formation in the individual languages of Europe and offers an innovative perspective. These portraits afford the first overview of this kind and will prove useful for future typological research. This handbook will provide an essential reference for both advanced students and researchers in word-formation and related fields within linguistics.

An updated Vedic concordance: a-na
After one hundred years, the well-known Vedic Concordance of Maurice Bloomfield has finally been updated.
