Synopsis

This volume brings together an international group of linguists from a diverse range of research backgrounds to explore the cycles of change in the world's languages. The chapters in this book draw on data both from languages from the distant past, such as Hittite and Proto-Bantu, and from a wide range of present-day languages.
