I was wondering if someone might make suggestions as to one or two
fairly introductery volumes on historical and comparitiv linguistics
theory and practice. I have been looking at Raimo Anttila's An
Introduction to Historical and Comparitive Linguistics; but it seemes
to lack specificity and definition. I have a bit of money for books;)
