Book Description:

This volume presents a new theory on the origin of the Germanic language that proposes solutions to key problems and has critical implications for cultural history. The authors challenge the traditional claim of a largely uninfluenced Proto-Germanic language, assembling positive evidence from linguistics and non-linguistic fields.
