Re: Diachronic linguistics readings

Hallo!

I can heartily recommend these two books:

Lyle Campbell, _Historical Linguistics_
Benjamin W. Fortson IV, _Indo-European Language and Culture_

The former is the best of the various historical linguistics textbooks
I have read so far.  The other book is of course specifically about
Indo-European; it gives excellent insight into the inner workings of
this family and contains lots of potential inspiration for building your
own family.

Greetings,

Jörg.
