The genealogical affiliation of the Tyrrhenian language family (Etruscan, Lemnian, Rhaetic) is unclear-and will probably remain so for the time being, as both linguistic and archaeogenetic data allow different scenarios. As far as the linguistic data are concerned, the agglutinative nominal inflection does, at first glance, clearly separate the Tyrrhenian languages from the fusional inflectional type of Indo-European languages. But as it turns out, an agglutinative inflection may well have emerged from a fusional type. The archaeogenetic data, for their part, cannot be combined into a coherent overall picture. Thus, all hypotheses formulated so far concerning the prehistory of the Tyrrhenians remain conceivable-although the theory that the Tyrrhenian languages originated in Anatolia now seems less likely.

The influence of pre-Greek languages on Greek manifests itself primarily in the vocabulary. It is mainly cultural terms that are borrowed, while there are no borrowed functional words. There is thus a scenario of ‘cultural borrowing’ between early Greek and the pre-Greek languages.

Sie wird mit Missbrauch, Willkur und Irrationalitat verbunden, allein das Streben danach gilt als verdachtig. Dabei ist die regulierende und gestaltende Funktion der Macht fur und in Organisationen aus dem Blick geraten, aber auch die Frage nach den Ursprungen und den Regulativen von Macht. Das Buch untersucht diese Thematik aus der Perspektive von Wissenschaftlern verschiedener Disziplinen und von "Praktikern der Macht" aus Unternehmen und Politik.

This question is the focus of this interdisciplinary contribution. The answer is important in two ways: on the one hand, we could obtain more precise evidence of when and how speakers of Indo-European idioms came to Asia Minor; on the other hand we could shed more light on the prehistory of the Troas. Current findings from archeology, archaeogenetics and linguistics lead to the following conclusions: close cultural contacts existed between Eastern Thrace or the southeastern Balkans and northwestern Anatolia in the Late Neolithic (c. 6000 BCE) and in the Chalcolithic/Eneolithic period (c. 5800-4000 BCE). However, no Indo-European groups appear to have been involved in these contacts. They therefore must have reached Anatolia via the Caucasus. An immigration of speakers of Indo-European idioms via the Balkans did not take place until the Late Bronze Age, when the Phrygians reached Asia Minor. Incidentally, these become manifest in the epigraphic documents earlier than previously assumed.

We trained a seq2seq model on a carefully curated dataset of 3000 question-answering pairs, the core of our mean, grumpy, sarcastic chatbot. We show that end-to-end systems learn patterns very quickly from small datasets and thus, are able to transfer simple linguistic structures representing abstract concepts to unseen settings. We also deploy our LSTM-based encoder-decoder model in the browser, where users can directly interact with the chatbot. Human raters evaluated linguistic quality, creativity and human-like traits, revealing the system's strengths, limitations and potential for future research.

It is inductive (data-driven) and seems to be much more reliable as the concurring method of internal reconstruction. Still it has been overlooked that each comparative reconstruction - to be innovative - has to be based on an initial premise. Such a premise is always the result of an abductive conclusion as used in internal reconstruction. Thus each comparative reconstruction has a core consisting of internal reconstruction. For syntactical reconstruction the following premise seems to be suitable: Linguistic structures and their changes obey the principles of universal grammar (e. g. the Minimalistic Program) and of grammaticalization. This premise proves fruitful for the explanation of the Early Greek augment */e-/< *h
