Introduction to Indo-European Linguistics by Oswald Szemernyi

New paperback edition of the English translation of Szemerenyi's classic textbook on the use of the comparative-historical method, with special reference to Indo-European. Written by the leading all-round Indo-European scholar of the second half of the twentieth century, Introduction to Indo-European Linguistics is the most comprehensive and accurate textbook available.
draws confidently on data from all of the Indo-European branches* Sino-Platonic Papers No.107, Sept. 2000. *
... this work is now so much more widely accessible ... it will truly be a fitting memorial to Oswald Szemerenyi * J. H. W. Penney, Kratylos Edition 44 1999 *
Szemerenyi's standard introduction to the comparative philology of Indo-European has thankfully been made available in English. Beautifully set out, it represents the thoroughly revised and (especially in respect of bibliography) enlarged edition of 1990. ... a masterpiece of clarity and conciseness. * J. C. Wright, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies *
