An international conference, The sound of Indo-European – phonetics, phonemics, and morphophonemics, organised within the framework of the programme Roots of Europe – language, culture, and migrations, took place at the University of Copenhagen, 16-19 April 2009.

The general theme of the conference included phonetic, phonemic, and morphophonemic questions relating to either the Indo-European protolanguage and its prestages or to a specific branch of the Indo-European family.

    Hidden sound laws in the inflectional morphology of Proto-Indo-European
  • Professor, dr. Martin J. Kümmel (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg):

The lectures were open to the public.
