{"product_id":"a-history-of-east-baltic-anthony-jakob-9789004686465","title":"A History of East Baltic Through Language Contact","description":"The East Baltic languages are well known for their conservative phonology as compared to other Indo-European languages, which has led to a stereotype that the Balts developed in isolation without much contact with other speech communities. This book challenges that view, taking a deep dive into the East Baltic lexicon and peeling away the layers of prehistoric borrowings in the process. As well as significant contact events with known languages, the lexicon also reveals evidence of contact with unattested languages from which previous populations must have shifted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Jakob\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004686460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004686465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Anthony Jakob","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46489395134719,"sku":"9789004686465","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70206c5d-06b1-4580-bbff-b2dd59a87d91.jpg?v=1736953430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-east-baltic-anthony-jakob-9789004686465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
