Positions

Weiss' main research interests focus on Indo-European linguistics. In particular he has been interested in the historical phonology and morphology of Greek, Latin and the Sabellic languages. Weiss is editing together with Andrew Garrett  a Handbook of Indo-European Studies  and writing a new Introduction to Indo-European Linguistics  with Jay Jasanoff , both for Oxford University Press. He is also working on a study of the sociocultural contexts of Indo-European Linguistics in the 20th century, and an investigation of some classic problems of the PIE phonological system including the stop system and the role of supra-syllabic constituents in PIE phonology. Weiss is also interested in the theoretical aspects of historical linguistics.
