Reviews

“In this book, Li Suogui offers a careful chronological study of lexical beginnings from Russian and Chinese primarily and then of merging interests over a period of more than a century. In researching and distilling his basic materials the author faced a challenging task, given the radical differences between these two otherwise unrelated languages, spoken and written, Mr. Li has met these challenges involved very successfully.” Professor Leonard E. Doucette,
University of Toronto
