”This volume will be of primary interest to those already in the field of historical accentology … At the same time, The volume can serve as a good introduction to different approaches to research now being done.”Slavic and East European Journal, Vol. 55, Issue 2 (Summer 2011)“The book as a whole is attractively formatted, carefully edited, and priced so as to be affordable to individuals, and not only reference libraries. Its publication, and the international workshop series as a whole, testifies to the ongoing vitality of Balto-Slavic historical accentology, which continues to suggest both new solutions to existing problems and directions for future research.” Canadian Slavonic Papers / Revue Canadienne des Slavistes, Vol. 52, No. 3/4 (September-December 2010)
