The present monograph examines appositional
collocations in older Indo-European languages, a
topic which has remained virtually unstudied in Indo-
European linguistics since Eduard Schwyzer’s “Zur
Apposition” (1947). Part One is devoted to unextended
apposition and its position in the noun phrase in Indo-
European. After an extensive collection of linguistic
data from Anatolian, Tocharian, Celtiberian, and
Mycenaean Greek (with special consideration given to
formulaic collocations), there follows an investigation
of the syntactic and semantic principles underlying the
placement of apposition, drawing upon comparative data
from non-Indo-European languages. Part Two focuses
on collocations consisting of numeral, appositional
determiner, and counted item. Such collocations are
not only well-attested crosslinguistically, but are also
reconstructible in certain cases for Proto-Indo-European
and shed important light on the evolution of numeral
classifiers in modern Indo-European as well as non-
Indo-European languages. The “phraseoIogization” of
collocations of numeral and appositional determiner
is documented already in older lndo-European
languages and constitutes the preliminary stage for
the grammaticalization of numeral classifiers, found in
certain modern lndo-Aiyan languages (e.g. Bengali) and
especially outside Indo-European. By demonstrating the
existence of a developmental path leading from habitual
collocation to syntactic construction, these case studies
support the continuum, long postulated in theoretical
linguistics, between lexicon and syntax.
