Abstract

Gabelentz’s work. Moreover, the majority of the articles in Von Lindenblättern und verderbten Dialekten fulfills the promise given in the “Introduction” of presenting at least a few “important new insights.” In some articles, Gabelentz’s ideas are put in a very broad context, which functions as a source of information in itself, rather than shedding a direct light upon Gabelentz. Nevertheless, this important and original scholar nowhere fails to fascinate.
