It uncovers the mechanisms of their creation and shows their limitation. The established view that the nouns are an unproductive category is challenged; at the same time, the expanding and partly changing nature of the basis governing the creation of the adjectives is explained. Morphology and semantics are studied in tandem, and a large chronological span of the Greek language is covered. The historical side is then extended into prehistory, and in particular the Greek evidence is tested against recent theories on Proto-Indo-European ablaut, leading to a reassessment of the morphonological characteristics in question.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669331312928,"sku":"NEW0199280088","price":149.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/614o1Z3vtlL.jpg?v=1779046547","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/s-stem-nouns-and-adjectives-in-greek-and-proto-indo-european-a-diachronic-study-in-word-formation-oxford-classical-monographs-0199280088","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
