Autorenporträt

Jared S. Klein is Distinguished Research Professor of Linguistics, Classics, and Germanic and Slavic Languages at the University of Georgia, Athens, where he teaches Sanskrit, Gothic, Classical Armenian, the comparative grammar of Greek and Latin, historical linguistics, and Indo-European. He is interested in Indo-European discourse structure as well as the comparative grammar of those old Indo-European languages whose earliest texts are translations from the Greek New Testament. Arturas Ratkus is Senior Research Fellow in Linguistics at the University of Vilnius. His main research area is in historical linguistics, with a focus on the history of Germanic languages, the history of English, linguistic variation, reconstruction, and morphological and syntactic theory. He draws on Gothic material in investigating problems of determination, word order, and morphological and lexical variation.
