'Formerly dominated by research on historical reconstruction, this volume provides a new perspective on Afroasiatic by focusing on the typological wealth characterising this phylum.' Bernd Heine, University of Cologne
'This volume is a wonderfully comprehensive and yet entirely accessible compilation of where we stand today in the study of Afroasiatic, one the world's most important established deep-time language families.' Chris Ehret, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Los Angeles
'This is an excellent survey of a large and under-studied group of languages. It contains a wealth of material that will be of interest to linguists generally, not just to specialists in its area … an admirable addition to the linguistic literature.' Geoffrey Sampson, The Linguist List
