On the status of the aspirated tenues and the Indo-European phonation series

On the status of the aspirated tenues and the Indo-European phonation series Abstract 0. The question of the precise nature of the series of voiceless aspirated stops posited for the IE proto-language by the Neogrammarian school and codified in Brugmann's Grundriss has kept troubling our science since the discovery made by de Saussure (1892) that at least some cases of Sanskrit th go back to sequences of plain *t + a laryngeal. The matter was elaborated by Cuny who added the corresponding theory for a small number of instances of aspirated mediae (Cuny 1912: 118- 120). The theory was later, for the tenues, extended to ph and kh by Pedersen and Kurylowicz and, concerning the nature of the laryngeal involved, restricted to H 2 (or H 4) by Kurylowicz (see Pedersen 1926:48, n.1; Kurytowicz 1927:202–04, 1935:46–54). Competent accounts of the history of research are found, i.a., in Polomé 1965:12–15, Hoenigswald 1965:93–95, Lindeman 1970:77–84, and Szemerényi 1973:passim. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Linguistica Hafniensia: International Taylor & Francis
