These errata found in Millar's 3rd edition of Trask's Historical Linguistics were mostly identified by Jonathan Washington and his students in LING 052 in the fall of 2016.
Contents
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
- p. 16, "...who speak different languages. This is true today..."
- p. 18, "originally meaning ‘army-ford’"
- p. 35, "mëdvedev" isn't the Russian word for bear, медведь [mʲɪdˈʋʲɛdʲ] is.
Chapter 4
- p. 72, The paragraph ending in "before nasals" is missing a "." at the end.
- p. 84, The plural of Yiddish tog "day" is teg, not *toge
- p. 95, In the third-to-last paragraph, it should say "...both the lowering of /o/ and umlaut..." instead of "...both the lowering of /ø/ and umlaut"
Chapter 6
- p. 129, example 6.13 should probably be "John-č kʷaθʔideː ido-pč", not "John kʷaθʔideː-č ido-pč".
- p. 131, the transcription of the Biblical Hebrew examples has a few issues:
- ' and ʔ are both used for glottal stop
- c is used for emphatic [sˁ]
- v is used for [w]
- these last couple issues suggest the intent was to transcribe Modern Hebrew, not Biblical Hebrew...
- p. 133, example 6.22 appears to be missing the word "dă"
