Recenzje

"Through careful examination of historical documents, Vance demonstrates that 'Lyman's Law' is a misnomer in two senses; neither is Lyman the first scholar to discover the law, nor is Lyman's Law the only generalization that Lyman identified. Readers will learn why rendaku and Lyman's Law will continue to be exciting topics for phonological inquiry."
Prof. Shigeto Kawahara, Keio University, Tokyo

"The story of Benjamin Lyman is one that deserves to be heard, both in terms of the man and his contribution to Japanese linguistics. Tim Vance does the job admirably and has written a book that will be the standard text for decades to come."
Dr. Mark Irwin, Yamagata University
