Studies in British Celtic Historical Phonology

The languages belonging to the British subgroup of Celtic, i.e.

Welsh, Cornish and Breton, have been the subject of thorough research for over a century now.

Yet the phonological history of the prehistoric stages of these languages and the details of their connection with the other Celtic and Indo-European languages still present numerous unsolved issues.

This volume aims to tackle the most acute problems of the historical phonology of British Celtic.

Also it provides an up-to-date reference guide to British historical phonology in general, as well as a study of a large body of etymologies relevant to the correct evaluation of the historical phonology.

This volume is of interest for the Celtologist, the Indo-Europeanist and the general historical linguist.
