“Unlike many conferences and publications that focus on historical linguistics, this book is not saturated with topics that are specifically Indo-European. Only half the articles deal with some aspect of the IE family, and many of these do so with a much broader issue in mind.”
Andrew Byrd, University of California, Los Angeles, in Language Vol. 82:3 (2006)
“A particularly strong aspect of the book is the broad range of languages discussed, especially in the light of the overemphasis that is sometimes placed on Indo-European in historical linguistics.”
Marc Pierce, University of Michigan, USA on Linguist List Vol. 15-295, Jan. 2004
“This book has something to offer every linguist who is interested in the diachronic aspects of language.”
Andrew Byrd, UCLA, USA, in Language, August 2004
