Praise for Indo-European Language and Culture Ben Fortsons book is the best - photo 1

Praise forIndo-European Language and Culture

Ben Fortsons book is the best existing introduction to Indo-European linguistics: up-to-date and comprehensive, accessible without being oversimplified. Students and interested laypersons will find it indispensable.

Don Ringe, University of Pennsylvania

Fortsons Introduction continues to be the textbook of choice for introductory Indo-European. In its presentation of both fact and theory, it is a marvel of accuracy, completeness, and sound judgment.

Brent Vine, UCLA

Praise for the Previous Edition:

Superb... [Fortsons] short general discussions of the histories and ecologies of the individual languages are the best I have ever read.

Recensiones Salesianum, 2008

I would like to conclude by stressing that this is an excellent textbook. I have taught from it, and the students in my class not only learned a great deal from it, they also seemed to enjoy the book almost as much as I did.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Finally, there is a reliable, engaging and accessible presentation of the communis opinio. And there are even exercises!... Fortson has produced an excellent book that fulfills its goals admirably. I hope it will inspire a renaissance of Indo-European linguistics in English speaking countries.

Journal of the American Oriental Society

Blackwell Textbooks in Linguistics
