“…Recent overviews of the shared Baltic and Slavic features that are relevant for the Balto-Slavic question can be found in Hock (2004Hock ( , 2005, Euler (2007: 10-15), Young (2017), Petit (2018) and Villanueva Svensson (in press). Excellent general overviews of the scholarly literature have been given by Petit (2004), Hock (2006) and Dini (2014: 200-13). This chapter will discuss the most compelling phonological, lexical and morphological evidence in favour of a Balto-Slavic clade, after which it will address dialectal variation within Proto-Balto-Slavic, the internal grouping of Balto-Slavic, external affiliations of Balto-Slavic and linguistic contacts of Proto-Balto-Slavic.…”
