Schaarschmidt, Gunter
A Historical Phonology of the Upper and Lower Sorbian Languages

Bringing together data obtained via the comparative method, internal reconstruction, dialectological research, the study of texts, and research in onomastics (especially for the period before the 16th century), this book presents the chain of sound changes in Upper and Lower Sorbian from the ninth century to the present-day phonological systems of both languages. The study is presented as a series of "synchronic slices" related by sound changes that are dated as accurately as possible using the above evidence. 175 Seiten, broschiert (Historical Phonology of the Slavic Languages; vol. 6/Universitätsverlag Winter 1998) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
