The pre-Greek linguistic substratum. A critical assessment of recent theories

Gertjan Verhasselt Les Études Classiques 79 (2011): 257-283

From the introduction

In a previous volume of LEC, I published a first article in which I gave an overview of the linguistic research into the Pre-Greek substratum of the last thirty years. While my approach there was mainly descriptive, the present article confronts and evaluates the theories presented there through a selection of etymological problems. For a great part, I shall comment on the research by R. S. P. Beekes, probably the most important linguist studying the Pre-Greek substratum at present.
