-==Commentary==
-Devoto attempts a definition of the Gaulish problem by "combining the propositions of comparative grammar with elements of archaeology" (p. 325). Out of this, he develops the concept that Gaulish is a "phase in the history of the Celtic languages": he claims that in this phase, some similarities were maintained, but there were also some totally or partially new elements introduced. Extremely significant is the idea of an "Indo-Europeisation" of the West, which is non-Celtic in the historical sense of the term, but preceding the Celts, and "different from the historical Celts but not in contradiction to their subsequent linguistic development".
