Historical Linguistics provides a comprehensive and clearly written introduction to historical linguistic theory and methods.Sincs its first publication on 1962 the book has established itself as core reading for students of linguistics.This edition has been thoroughly revised.Drawing on recent linguistic and archaeological research Professor Lehmann incorporates key developments in the field.These include exciting advances in the history and development of writing and in typological classification which allow better understanding of the structure of early languages.The book is well-illustrated with Indo-European examples and supplementary exercises drawing on data from other language families as well.Historical linguistics will enable students to carry out independent work in historical studies on any language family,as well as up-to-date work in Indo-European.
