Originally published in 1949 and appearing now for the first time in a
paperbound edition, Buck's Dictionary remains an indispensable tool
for diachronic analysis of the Indo-European languages. Arranged
according to the meaning of words, the work contains more than 1,000
groupings of synonyms from the principal Indo-European languages. Buck
first tabulates the words describing a particular concept and then
discusses their etymological and semantic history, tracing changes in
meaning of the root words as well as presenting cases indicating which
of the older forms have been replaced by expressions of colloquial or
foreign origin.
