"How did the Tocharians reach China?" "Who did they meet on the way?” are some of the most intriguing questions in Indo-European studies. This book is zooming in on a specific part of the question: on their way to China, Tocharians were in contact with an Iranian people living in the south Siberian Steppes, and with a people related to the Oxus Civilization (BMAC). This Iranian people spoke a specific language, called here “Old Steppe Iranian”. They gave Tocharians many words, such as mañiye ‘se

Support-verb constructions, like 'to make a suggestion' or 'to take heart', are verbal multi-word expressions. They are lexically, morphosyntactically, semantically, and pragmatically versatile and thus form an integral, enriching, and natural part of the classical Greek lexicon grammar. Taking heart does not involve barbarism and taking a picture does not involve theft, yet how does one know that for a corpus language like classical literary Attic Greek? This book embraces the diversity of this

Law is interpreted and implemented by many hands. Some of them belong to judges, legislators, or lawyers—but many belong to nurses, teachers, municipal officials, or department heads: professionals who encounter law not in courtrooms or casebooks, but in institutional documents, contracts, checklists, and internal protocols. These actors do not interpret law as legal theorists or as abstract "laypeople," but as role-bound individuals embedded in specific organizational contexts. Their understand

We are pleased to announce a conference on Sociolinguistic Variation in Ancient Languages. Towards Third Wave approaches and beyond, which will take place at the University of Cambridge on 26-28 March 2026, at Jesus College and at the Faculty of Classics. The theme is how Third Wave approaches can enhance our understanding of variation in ancient languages, and how we can integrate such approaches with previous methodologies. We focus especially on new methodologies and new corpora, with languag

We are pleased to announce the OCP23 Satellite Workshop on The Role of Representation in Computational Phonology to be held on 13 January at the University of Cambridge. Phonological representations minimally assume linearly ordered elements, and have been augmented to include hierarchical structure like prosodic categories and non-linear structure like autosegmental tiers. McCarthy’s (1988:84) often quoted adage, “if the representations are right, then the rules will follow” implies the anal
