Engrg.; Dept. of Civ. Serial Information: Journal of the Construction Division, 1982, Vol. 108, Issue 4, Pg. Abstract: Inflation has become a chronic problem whose effects permeate the entire construction industry. Owners are not only paying for the increased costs of facilities and capital but also for premiums on construction prices because of the uncertainties of inflation and its side effects. Contractors are faced with severe uncertainty in bidding and financing work on projects.
The Indo-European language family has four main living branches: Indo-Iranian, Balto-Slavic, Germanic, and Italic.
That is not the case, however: there are about 200 Indo-European languages, but even ignoring the many cases in which a languageâs genetic affiliation cannot be clearly determined, there are undoubtedly more families of languages (about 250) than there are members of the Indo-European family.ne might suppose, therefore, that linguists would have a clear and reasonably precise notion of how many languages there are in the world. It turns out, however, that there is no such definite countâor at least, no such count that has any status as a scientific finding of modern linguistics.
