"Advanced students of linguistics and practising linguists can read this book for both profit and enjoyment. The editors have assembled an impressive list of leading experts in each subfield, each contributing a chapter: together it makes for an interesting and informative read." -- Professor Sheila Embleton, Department of Languages, Literature & Linguistics, York University, Canada As a practising historical linguist I found much of the book fascinating reading, as it took me Into methods and geographic regions of historical linguistics which I am less familiar with, and many of the chapters provided me with a pithy but informative overview of their respective fields. -- Linguist ... this is a highly competent updated work, extremely useful in laying out different discussion topics related to the various aspects developed, as well as in completing and updating the large number of reference books currently available in historical linguistics. -- Journal of Historical Linguistics Vol.1:2
