Review
A pleasant surprise. It is arguably the most successful attempt at combining linguistics and Assyriology, and the work combines clarity of argumentation with new thinking about Akkadian grammar. Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies Excellent and thoroughly enjoyable book. It is a highly original and even a pioneering work. Bibliotheca Orientalis
