Trade Review
"We have before us a study of unprecedented proportions. Presentation of Wolff's Proto-Austronesian phonology is continued by thirty-seven chapters detailing the evolution of the system—regularities and irregularities—into as many languages (Dempwolff's eleven, plus twenty-six 'new' languages, including nearly all the Austronesian languages currently spoken in Taiwan; several known to him from personal fieldwork); this is followed by a Glossary of c. 2000 reconstructed etyma (about half of thema ssigned to a level above Malayo-Polynesian), with full supporting evidence, notes and cross-references to relevant sections in the Proto-Austronesian phonology chapter. The book ends with all the indexes, registers, and finder lists the most exacting reader could wish for." -- Laurent Sagrat, Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique
