Dictionary of Historical and Comparative Linguistics

"Recommended for specialized collections and academic libraries." -- Library Journal

"This dictionary is very good…It will be most useful to every beginning and fairly progressed student of language." -- American Reference Books Annual

"The first dictionary devoted to historical linguistics, the oldest scholarly branch of the discipline, this book fills a need. Most terms, laws, techniques, and processes that it defines are not listed in existing general or specialized dictionaries of linguistics…The book's high quality and uniqueness make this a necessary purchase for all academic and many public libraries." -- Choice
