controversial and compelling ideas to explore the relationship
between fundamental concepts in historical linguistics.

- Presents controversial but compelling ideas in developing a clear understanding as to why historical linguistics has had significant success in some domains, such as phonological history, and why it is considerably less successful in others
- Explores the relationship between fundamental concepts in historical linguistics, topics such as 'language' and 'change', and corresponding notions in contemporary (synchronic) linguistic theory
- Features extensive discussion of traditional and theoretically-oriented historical work in the domains of phonology and syntax.
