Delbrück's three volumes on inflection & phrase & sentence structure appeared between 1893 & 1900 & remain the fullest treatment of Indo-European syntax to this day. In this volume, Delbrück again explains that he has not treated the full range of Indo-European languages, nor tried to explain how the attested forms & usages arose. Even so, Delbrück marshalls an impressive range of material as he discusses a comprehensive range of structures from apposition & simple questions to complex sentences involving co-ordination & subordination. The volume ends with thorough indexes of words (100 pages), subjects, literary references, & authors to all three volumes on syntax. ER -
