Reviews
Review from previous edition This is without any doubt a major work in the field of Indo-European linguistics and will be of utmost relevance in English linguistics. We have a large number of Histories of the English Language, but in none of them is the pre-history of English dealt with in comparable depth. * Professor Alfred Bammesberger, Catholic University of Eichstatt-Ingolstadt *
A highly welcome and useful book for scholars and advanced students of comparative Indo-European and Germanic linguistics and the history of English. * David Stifter, Linguist List *
