Title: good introduction for the non-linguist
Product review: This book is for people who have studied at least one semitic language but have a limited background in linguistics. It will help you to understand some of the linguistic-oriented articles and reconstructions that you may come across. The many exercises are useful for self study and to get a feel for the possibilities and limitations of comparative methods. If you have a strong background in linguistics, you may find this book too simple.
