Aims and Scopes

The journal 'INDOGERMANISCHE FORSCHUNGEN' is dedicated to the study of Indo-European languages and their historical, linguistic, and cultural contexts. It aims to provide a comprehensive platform for in-depth research and discussion among scholars in the field.
  1. Indo-European Linguistics:
    The journal focuses on the historical and comparative analysis of Indo-European languages, exploring their grammar, syntax, semantics, and phonetics.
  2. Cultural and Mythological Studies:
    It examines the intersection of language with culture and mythology, delving into how linguistic elements reflect cultural narratives and practices.
  3. Syntax and Morphology:
    There is a significant emphasis on the syntactic and morphological structures within various Indo-European languages, including investigations into nominal and verbal systems.
  4. Etymology and Lexicology:
    The journal publishes studies on etymology and the historical development of words across Indo-European languages, contributing to a deeper understanding of linguistic evolution.
  5. Diachronic Linguistics:
    Research often explores diachronic changes in languages, tracing how linguistic features evolve over time within the Indo-European family.
  6. Translation and Transmission Studies:
    The journal includes discussions on the translation practices and transmission of texts across cultures, particularly in ancient manuscripts and religious texts.
Recent publications in 'INDOGERMANISCHE FORSCHUNGEN' reveal several emerging themes that reflect current interests and advancements in the field of Indo-European studies.
  1. Syntax of Ancient Languages:
    There is an increasing focus on the syntactic structures of ancient languages such as Latin, Greek, and Gothic, highlighting a trend towards detailed syntactic analysis in historical contexts.
  2. Reduplication and Nominal Forms:
    Research on nominal reduplication, particularly in Tocharian and other Indo-European languages, is gaining traction, indicating a deeper investigation into morphological phenomena.
  3. Aspectual Studies in Indo-European:
    The exploration of aspectual composition and its historical implications is emerging as a critical area of study, reflecting ongoing debates about aspect in Indo-European languages.
  4. Linguistic Change and Variation:
    There is a growing interest in the diachronic study of linguistic variation, particularly in less commonly studied languages such as Khotanese and Luwian, showing a trend towards inclusivity in language coverage.
  5. Translation Studies in Ancient Texts:
    The analysis of translation practices, particularly in religious texts like the Armenian New Testament, is on the rise, emphasizing the importance of understanding linguistic transmission through translation.

Declining or Waning

While 'INDOGERMANISCHE FORSCHUNGEN' has a broad scope, certain themes appear to be losing prominence in recent publications, indicating a shift in focus within the journal.
  1. General Comparative Linguistics:
    There has been a noticeable decline in papers that take a broad comparative approach across multiple Indo-European languages, with a shift towards more specific case studies and detailed analyses.
  2. Classical Literature Analysis:
    The examination of classical literature in a general sense is less frequent, suggesting a move away from purely literary critiques in favor of linguistic and structural analyses.
  3. Archaeological Linguistics:
    Research that combines linguistic evidence with archaeological findings appears to be waning, as the journal increasingly prioritizes linguistic theory and analysis over interdisciplinary approaches.
