'Formerly dominated by research on historical reconstruction, this
volume provides a new perspective on Afroasiatic by focusing on the
typological wealth characterising this phylum.' Bernd Heine,
University of Cologne
'This volume is a wonderfully comprehensive and yet entirely
accessible compilation of where we stand today in the study of
Afroasiatic, one the world's most important established deep-time
language families.' Chris Ehret, Distinguished Professor,
University of California, Los Angeles
'This is an excellent survey of a large and under-studied group of
languages. It contains a wealth of material that will be of
interest to linguists generally, not just to specialists in its
area … an admirable addition to the linguistic literature.'
Geoffrey Sampson, The Linguist List
