As an Indo-European language, Armenian has been the subject of
etymological research for over a hundred years. There are many
valuable systematic handbooks, studies and surveys on comparative
Armenian linguistics. Almost all of these works, with a few
exceptions, mostly concentrate on Classical Armenian and touch the
dialects only sporadically. Non-literary data taken from Armenian
dialects have largely remained outside of the scope of
Indo-European etymological considerations. This book provides an
up-to-date description of the Indo-European lexical stock of
Armenian with systematic inclusion of dialectal data. It
incorporates the lexical, phonetic, and morphological material in
the Armenian dialects into the etymological treatment of the
Indo-European lexicon. In this respect it is completely new.
