, 2010 There is every reason to welcome the revised edition (2009) of Thomas Olander’s dissertation (2006), which I have criticized elsewhere (2006). The book is very well written and the author has a broad command of the scholarly literature.

Noises and nuisances in Balto-Slavic and Indo-European linguistics
, 2010 It is gratifying to see that Jay Jasanoff has now (2004) adopted my theory that "the Balto-Slavic acute was a kind of stød or broken tone" (p. 172), which I have been advocating since 1973.

Cross‐Linguistic Suffix Preference: Typological or Cognitive Bias?
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.Languages can be shaped by pre‐existing cognitive machinery that makes certain properties more processable. Such properties are more frequent across world languages. Most languages prefer suffixes to prefixes for grammatical meanings. Whether such typological bias is shaped by cognitive bias is debated.

The loss of *g before *m in Proto-Slavic
