"Absolute Constructions in Early Indo-European," Cornell Sanskrit Scholar Antonia Ruppel's new book

"Absolute Constructions in Early Indo-European," Cornell Sanskrit Scholar Antonia Ruppel's new book

"In the past, discussions of absolute constructions (ACs) have been limited by an imprecise understanding of what ACs are. By examining the nature and function of ACs and related constructions in Greek, Latin and Sanskrit, this new study arrives at a clear and simple definition of ACs. Focussing on the earliest attested material in each language, it highlights how AC usage differs between languages and offers explanations for these differences. Identifying the common core shared by all ACs, it suggests a starting-point and way by which they developed into Greek, Latin and Sanskrit.
