This workbook guides students through 12 problems on the establishment of genetic relationship among languages, 24 problems on sound change, 35 problems on phonological reconstruction, 10 problems on internal reconstruction, and 20 problems on subgrouping.
Each section begins with an introduction to the principles of historical linguistics as applied to the topic in hand. The problems come next, ordered by level of difficulty – beginning, intermediate, advanced. The ‘Solutions’ section at the end of the book provides answers.
The workbook is intended to be a companion piece to any textbook on historical linguistics, providing data-based instruction on the basic principles of the field and illustrating theory in a practical way.
