Among the circum-Baltic languages, we find three major branches of Indo-European — Baltic, Germanic, and Slavic, the Baltic-Finnic languages from the Uralic phylum and several others. The circum-Baltic area is an ideal place to study areal and contact phenomena in languages. The present set of two volumes look at the circum-Baltic languages from a typological, areal and historical perspective, trying to relate the intricate patterns of similarities and dissimilarities to the societal background. In Volume I, surveys of dialect areas and language groups bear witness to the immense linguistic diversity in the area with special attention to less well-known languages and language varieties and their contacts. 54 12 31 2001 10 21 2008 9789027230577 9781588110206 9789027297280 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/slcs.54 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027297280 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027297280.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/slcs.54/html Éva Ágnes Csató Syntactic code-copying in Karaim 12 31 2001 10 21 2008 271 283 10.1075/slcs.54.15csa https://benjamins.com/catalog/slcs.54.15csa https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/slcs.54.15csa/html
