Bryant, Pacific Affairs , 1989.' ...warmly commended not just for his careful scholarship but also for the skill with which he has organised his material and the manner in which he has made interesting a topic proverbial for dullness.

Barz, Indo-Iranian Journal , 1990.' ...provides a wealth of data...sorts out many important questions...sets into motion what one hopes will be a continual discussion on the origins, methods, and purposes of Hindi grammar.
