Reviews

one can sincerely say that the current volume is of interest to anyone interested in Persian as a whole as well as to those only interested in particular aspects. The book is worthwhile reading as its different chapters introduce the various facets of Persian linguistics and provide a good overview of the literature published on the different topics. * Jens Fleischhauer, LINGUIST List *
