Why learn One language at a time?,
By A Customer
This review is from: INDO-EUROPEAN ROOTS SUPPL CL (Hardcover)
As a former student of Professor Watkins' outstanding class in Indo-European, I can appreciate the importance of a work such as this dictionary.
By studying the dictionary, and the essays that accompany it, the reader can begin to learn a host of languages simultaneously. There are laws of language change that effect all the Indo-European languages, and learning these will enable the reader to gain insights and understanding of all of the related languages -- without having to study each separately.For a primer on the subject, I would suggest looking at the condensed version at the end of your American Heritage dictionary. There, you will also find some of Professor Watkins' illustrative essays. The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots is a great addition to any serious reference library.
