Nominal Apposition in Indo-European: Its Forms and Functions, and Its Evolution in Latin-Romance

By Brigitte L.M. Bauer

Nominal apposition--the combining of two equivalent nouns--has been a neglected topic in linguistics, despite its prominence in syntax and morphology in some languages. This book presents an extensive comparative and diachronic analysis of nominal apposition in Indo-European, examining its occurrence, characteristics and functions in early languages, identifying parallels with similar phenomena elsewhere, and tracing its evolution in Latin-Romance.
