Reviews

Well organized, clearly and engagingly written, and offers a fine blend of theoretical relevance and close textual analysis... [Reinohl's] arguments are thought provoking and well presented, and definitely demand close consideration by scholars of Indo-Aryan and anyone interested in grammaticalization and Indo-European diachronic syntax. --Geoffrey Haig, Language
