For 18 February

  1. Complete Problem Set 1: Indo-European Consonants. Write your answers by hand and turn it in at the start of class. If needed, you may use extra sheets of paper.
  2. Read Crowley & Bowern, chapter 1 (pp.3–22). There will be a quiz on this reading at the start of class.
  3. Remember that we are meeting on Tuesday, 18 February, instead of our usual Monday. This is a CUNY-wide calendar change.

As a side note, please do not share the take-home or in-class problem sets on any “study” websites. If you are found to have done so, your grade will suffer significantly.

For 3 February

Read chapter 1 (pp.1–17) in Fortson’s Indo-European Language and Culture. Don’t do the questions at the end.

There will be a brief quiz on this reading at the start of next week’s class.

You can also read Fortson’s chapter 2 if you’d like, but it’s not required. It gives more information on the culture and history of the Indo-Europeans.
