Review
"The book is a rich in information, Slavicists will enjoy the thorough historiography of their field; non-Slavicists will appreciate the detailed explications of Slavic data; all will welcome the many clear diagrams spelling out the author's claims....no one can deny that her book is a major contribution, an accomplishment that neither Slavicists nor phonlogists can afford to ignore."
