Reviews
“This is a well researched work that offers a panoramic view of the Pre-Roman languages and, at the same time, applies today’s historical knowledge and perspectives. It accounts for sociolinguistic phenomena such as diglossia, nationalism and governing styles to explain dynamics about the interrelationships of the Pre-Roman languages of the Iberian Peninsula. As such, this book makes an important contribution to its field.” – Joaquín Rodríguez-Barberá
