Program Overview

Subject of the study of historical-comparative linguistics is the Indo-European language family. The aim of this discipline is to determine the relationship that exists between the languages belonging to this language family and to gain insight into the processes of differentiation that have led to the languages spoken today. Historical-comparative linguistics preferably turns to the earliest tangible stages of the individual languages and attempts to record their linguistic evidence as precisely as possible, to describe the sound systems and grammatical structures in detail, to collect the vocabulary and to determine the meanings of words. Words and grammatical forms are also examined for their etymology.
