Vajda, who teaches&nbsp;Russian, linguistics, and Eurasian studies in Western鈥檚 College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Heinrich Werner, the world's foremost expert on Yeniseic (Yeniseian) languages, sought to create a comparative-historical Yeniseian&nbsp;dictionary&nbsp;that is readily accessible to English speakers. <a href="https://lincom-shop.eu/epages/57709feb-b889-4707-b2ce-c666fc88085d.sf/de_DE/?ObjectID=49802073">"Comparative-Historical Yeniseian&nbsp;Dictionary," published by Lincom Europa</a>,&nbsp;includes not only interpretations by Vajda and Werner, but also observations and commentaries made previously by others who have published results pertaining to Yeniseian etymology or lexical history. In addition to published lexical data, Vajda and Werner have also incorporated the results of the latest fieldwork on Ket.&nbsp;Dictionary&nbsp;entries include both modern forms attested in a single Yeniseian language as well as reconstructed protoforms representing an older stage of Yeniseian as supported by the extant comparative material.</p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/charles-mccullough-191136681/cmc-conversation-dr-edward-vajda?utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=social_sharing">Hear Vajda in a recent podcast interview here.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout layout--onecol--full"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--content"> </div> </div> <div class="layout layout--onecol"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--content"> </div> </div> <div class="layout layout--onecol"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--content"> <div class="block block--basic"> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field-item"><p> <style type="text/css">.page-title { --h1-size: var(--font-size--5xl); max-width: var(--content-area-max-width--sm); margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left; } h1 { line-height: 1.1; text-transform: none; font-weight: var(--font-weight--semibold); } .float-right { float: right; margin-left: var(--space--md); } .byline.float-right:after { width: 100%; } .byline { font-size: var(--font-size--xs); margin-bottom: var(--space--md); color: var(--gray); } .byline:after { content: ''; display: block; width: 5%; margin-top: var(--space--sm); margin-bottom: var(--space--md); border-bottom: solid var(--border-width--md) var(--gray--lighter--80); } .field--name-field-subhead { font-size: var(--font-size--2xl); font-weight: var(--font-weight--semibold); font-style: italic; margin-bottom: var(--space--md); color: var(--h2-color); } .block--nodenews-itemcreated { text-align: center; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: var(--space--md); } .field--name-field-summary { font-size: var(--font-size--xl); margin-bottom: var(--space--md); color: var(--gray--darker--20); } [data-theme="dark"] .field--name-field-summary, [data-theme="dark"] .byline { color: var(--gray--lighter--60); } </style> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> Thu, 23 Feb 2012 16:18:10 +0000 admin 95638 at
