"Some of the parts of this textbook were a bit heady, but overall it was pretty straightforward and very interesting. We even had to solve language problems, which I actually found fun and intriguing."
"I used this as a textbook for Historical Linguistics, and usually I never think of textbooks as books. However, after returning it for the umpteenth time, I realized how much I cherish it as a reference as well as to satiate any clamoring for phonetics, Chaucer, and linguistic trends, so it's earned a spot here on the ol' 'Reads list."
"read for my history & structure of the english language class. somewhat technical and highly informative. not a book to pick up casually. but if you want to teach yourself about the english language, it's great stuff."
