Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Praise for the Previous Edition: "Superb ... [Fortson's] short general discussions of the histories and ecologies of the individual languages are the best I have ever read." ( Recensiones - Salesianum , 2008) "I would like to conclude by stressing that this is an excellent textbook. I have taught from it, and the students in my class not only learned a great deal from it, they also seemed to enjoy the book almost as much as I did." ( Bryn Mawr Classical Review ) "Finally, there is a reliable, engaging and accessible presentation of the communis opinio. And there are even exercises! ... Fortson has produced an excellent book that fulfills its goals admirably. I hope it will inspire a renaissance of Indo-European linguistics in English speaking countries." ( Journal of the American Oriental Society )
