- Summary:
- A specialist in the historical linguistics of the German languages, Kroonen considers a class of noun in proto-germanic that, unlike other classes of nouns, display a wide range of dissimilar root forms through the Germanic dialectic area. Even within the North and West Germanic continuum, where he draws most of his evidence, neighboring dialects typically exhibit different roots for one and the same n-stems. His topics include the inflection of the n-stems, Kluge's Law and the directionals, consonant gradation in the verb, evidence for 10 types of n-stems, and the pseudo-ablaut.
