2.0 out of 5 stars Only a historical value, July 12, 2002
This book, first published in German first half of the 19th century was THE reference at the time in the world of comparative grammar. It is a huge masterpiece. But readers, attention: this book has only a HISTORICAL value. If you are a HISTORIAN of comparative grammar and wish to study the evolution of the linguistic techniques, then buy it or read it. But the scientific information in this book dating back to the 19th century, unfortunately, are no longer up to date.
