This 2001 volume is the ninth installment of the prestigious Daghestan Linguistic Collection, a seminal series that played a crucial role in the development of Caucasian linguistics at the turn of the millennium. The series was founded and steered by Mikhail Evgenievich Alekseev (1949–2014), a preeminent scholar whose work redefined the comparative-historical study of the Nakh-Daghestanian languages. Under his editorship, the collection became a vital bridge between the linguistic schools of Moscow and the Caucasus.
Issue 9 features a concentrated selection of scholarly articles focusing on the phonological, morphological, and syntactical peculiarities of the diverse languages of Dagestan. The contributions are notable for their inclusion of primary field data, often collected in remote mountainous regions, which provides an invaluable empirical foundation for the theoretical discussions within. The articles explore not only the internal structures of specific languages—such as Avar, Dargwa, or the smaller Lezgic languages—but also broader typological questions relevant to the entire Caucasian linguistic area.
The series ran from 1995 to 2010, totaling only 20 issues. Due to its niche academic nature and limited print runs, individual volumes like this one have long since disappeared from general circulation. It is a fundamental resource for Caucasologists, comparative linguists, and researchers interested in the preservation and analysis of minority languages. This copy represents a significant find for any academic collection dedicated to the unique and complex linguistic heritage of the North Caucasus.
