  abstract = {Benedict's recent contribution to the comparative and historical study of the languages generally held to constitute a "Sino-Tibetan" family (but minus the Thai languages), a somewhat revised first-publication of his manuscript of the 1940's, is studied, first with attention to its relationship to the still unpublished Berkeley Mss. volumes of the "Sino-Tibetan linguistics project," particularly as reflected in the publications of R. Shafer, then with special reference to Benedict's methodology, stressing the divergence of his "generalizations" from the "sound-law" concept of conventional historical linguistics, as well as to the question of how usefully the editor of the volume has been able to up-date its contents in the light of the progress in these studies since the 1940's.},
