Matasović Ranko. A Theory of Textual Reconstruction in Indo-European Linguistics

Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften, 1996. — 196 p. — (Schriften über Sprachen und Texte 2).The theory presented in this book is an attempt to extend the comparative method to linguistic structures of the highest level, i.e., to texts. It shows how fragments of Proto-Indo-European poetry can be reconstructed on the basis of etymologically related expressions, occurring in corresponding contexts in various Indo-European languages.
