About the Book

English summary: Sanskrit is the old language of India and the origin of words like yoga, mantra, ayurveda, karma und tantra. This book traces the undocumented prehistory of Sanskrit back to Proto-Indo-European. It presents a variety of tasks, easy-to-understand exercises and work instructions as well as clear tables and precise descriptions of the development of the Sanskrit language. By applying the structures of language development over and over again the user learns the matter by doing it. The exercises, in which Sanskrit word are deduced from their Proto-Indo-European pre-forms, are designed as puzzles that must be solved. The single-step method allows the user to analyze each derivation step exactly because a number always refers to an index of all the Sanskrit sound laws which can be found at the end of the book. In each teaching unit the left page contains the explanations and descriptions of Sanskrit sound laws and the right page offers exercises to train the learning matter. Sound laws, which are explained in other units, are additionally given on the exercise pages. Answers to all the exercises are included in the book. The comprehensive index includes all Sanskrit sound laws and is referred to in every step of a phonological derivation as well as in all the explanations. The index can be used for reference as well. The structure of the book is intentionally identical to the Latin Historical Phonology Workbook and Greek Historical Phonology Workbook which are also published in the Reichert Verlag. In this way, not only the parallelism of many developments can be compared with each other at first glance but the user can start working with the book directly without having to deal with any new types of tasks. The book is suitable for use in university courses but can easily be used for self-study as well based on the existing solutions in the book. The language is plain, intelligible and presents complex developments in a simple way so that non-specialists can work with the book. Previous knowledge of Sanskrit is not required. German description: Sanskrit ist die Sprache des alten Indien und Ursprung der Worter Yoga, Mantra, Ayurveda, Karma und Tantra. Mit diesem Buch kann die Geschichte des Sanskrit bis in seine unbelegte Vorgeschichte hin zum Urindogermanischen verfolgt werden. Mit einer Vielzahl von Aufgaben, verstandlich gestalteten Ubungen und Arbeitsanweisungen, ubersichtlichen Tabellen und prazisen Beschreibungen bildet der Benutzer die Entwicklung dieser alten Sprache nach. Durch wiederholtes eigenes Anwenden schleifen sich die Strukturen der Sprachentwicklung quasi spielerisch bei den Benutzern ein. Die Ubungen sind wie Ratsel aufgebaut, die es zu losen gilt. Dabei muss stets die Ableitung eines indischen Wortes vom Urindogermanischen her geleistet werden. Die verwendete Einzelschrittmethode erlaubt es dem Benutzer, jeden Ableitungsschritt genau nachzuvollziehen, da stets eine Nummer auf einen Index aller griechischen Lautgesetze verweist. Die Kapitel bestehen aus einer linken Erklarungsseite, auf der in kurzen Abschnitten der Lehrstoff besprochen wird, und einer rechten Ubungsseite, um die besprochenen phonologischen Prozesse anzuwenden. Lautwandelprozesse, die nicht unmittelbar im Kapitel besprochen werden, sind erganzend auf den Ubungsseiten angegeben. Die Losungen der Ubungen sind ebenfalls im Buch enthalten. Der umfangreiche Index altindischer Lautgesetze kann ebenfalls zum Nachschlagen genutzt werden. Das Buch ist der dritte Band phonologischer Ubungsbucher zu altindogermanischen Sprachen und im Aufbau identisch mit dem Buchern Arbeitsbuch zu lateinischen historischen Phonologie und Griechisch- Arbeitsbuch zur historischen Phonologie, die ebenfalls im Reichert Verlag erschienen sind. Auf diese Weise lasst sich nicht nur die Parallelitat vieler Entwicklungen auf den ersten Blick miteinander vergleichen, sondern der Benutzer kann direkt an die Arbeit gehen, ohne sich lang mit neuen Aufgabentypen auseinandersetzen zu mussen. Das Buch eignet sich nicht nur zum Einsatz in Universitatskursen, sondern kann aufgrund der im Buch vorhandenen Losungen problemlos zum Selbststudium genutzt werden. Die Sprache ist klar und verstandlich geschrieben und stellt komplexe Entwicklungen auf einfache Weise dar, damit auch fachfremde Personen mit dem Buch arbeiten konnen.
