About this online version of

Directions for Historical Linguistics

This online book, Directions for Historical Linguistics, is one in a series of books authored/edited by Winfred P. Lehmann on the subjects of Indo-European languages and historical linguistics, broadly interpreted. Directions for Historical Linguistics is being made available here, in online form, in order to ensure its long-term, widespread availability. This book is once again available for print in a new 2017 reissue published by Brill. Other books in this series may be reached via links in the left margin and on the series introduction page.

Conversion History

Directions for Historical Linguistics, originally published in 1968, was scanned and converted to XML/HTML by the University of Texas Library in early 2006. The output was subsequently revised, corrected, and segmented by this editor, who wrote software to further process the resulting HTML files -- creating additional indices and this page layout including the Table of Contents in the left margin. Invisible "metadata" has been added to enhance classification by web search engines, hence discovery by readers such as you. The content of this online version is otherwise substantially the same as that of the original 1968 book, save for this Editor's Note, and a few textual changes originated or sanctioned by the author. Mention of errata is welcome; the webmaster's address for comments appears at the bottom of every page.
