Q: HL textbook

[Claire Bowern]

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
We used Terry Crowley's "Introduction to Historical Linguistics" for a
second year university course. There's a third edition which was published
recently. We supplemented it with a reading brick from various other
authors. Crowley tends to demonstrate his points with languages other than
Indo-European ones, and there's quite a bit on Austronesian from memory. I
can give you the full reference details if you're interested.
