Trask's Historical Linguistics

*An approachable and engaging introduction to Historical Linguistics with up-to-date pedagogy including exercises, further reading and online support material.

*Historical Linguistics is a core part of most linguistics programmes. With the more experienced linguistics student in mind, this book covers many subjects in considerable depth while not sacrificing an appreciation of the whole.

*Includes examples and datasets from a wide variety of languages and language families, whereas most historical linguistics textbooks tend to just focus on the language family the author works on.
