Internal Reconstruction in Seneca

Abstract

2. Only three papers concerned primarily with the theory of internal reconstruction have appeared in this country in relatively recent years;2 two of these were earlier and later treatments of the same subject by the same author. A few additional papers have dealt with the internal reconstruction of specific features in specific languages, on a more or less ad hoc theoretical basis.3 I shall comment only on certain aspects of the papers by Hoenigswald (1946) and Marchand.
