The conference proceedings "Indogermanistik und Linguistik im Dialog" (Indo-European Studies and Linguistics in Dialogue) collects a representative selection of papers from the 13th conference of the same name held in 2008 by the Indo-European Society in Salzburg, Austria. It includes both contributions seeking a dialogue between Indo-European studies and general linguistics in an effort to apply modern linguistic methods to the findings of Indo-European languages and on primitive Indo-European reconstruction, as well as works that approach the language-specific problems with the proven traditional methods of Indo-European studies. German and English text.
