Contents:

Europe and the Mediterranean as Linguistic Areas; Editorial page; Title page; LCC data; Table of contents; List of the contributors; Foreword; Trends in the diachronic development of Semitic verbal morphology; Demonstratives in the languages of Europe; Internal structure of verbal stems in the Germanic languages; Relativization strategies in the languages of Europe; The spread and decline of indefinite man -constructions in European languages: An areal perspective; Mediating culture through language: Contact-induced phenomena in the early translations of the Gospels.

Summary: This volume is a collection of 12 papers which originated from a research project on 'Europe and the Mediterranean from a linguistic point of view: history and prospects'. The papers deal with specific morphosyntactic aspects of language structure and evolution. The comparative perspective is adopted both from a synchronic (typological) and a diachronic (historical) angle, focusing in particular on possible contact phenomena. Therefore, methodological key words of this book are areal typology and linguistic area. The issues addressed cover such diverse aspects of language structure and change.
