Dupraz's analyses of sometimes very obscure passages of Sabellian texts are clear and well argued. He is careful to emphasise problems caused by uncertainty of interpretation, lack of data, and different genres of texts. Nicholas Zair, The Linguist List, 11/07/2012 [The new framework...of Sabellic (or Italic) demonstratives]...is quite robustly structured. One of the reasons for this may be the thoroughness [of Emmanuel Dupraz]; he takes pains to treat even minor derivatives from the demonstrative stems with great caution. The way he provides translations of the texts is also well-balanced; he is fair to cite a wide variety of references, whereby readers can objectively judge matters for themselves. Moreover, for the sake of clarity, he frequently stops to summarize what he has seen from the data and proposed about it. The final conclusion of the work (313-315) is also very concise.

Kanehiro Nishimura, Kratylos, Vol. 58 (2013), pp. 47-57. Overall, this book is likely to be a lasting point of reference for anyone studying the Sabellian languages, not just for its detailed analysis of the demonstratives, but for its contribution to the scholarship on the stylistics and pragmatics of a range of Sabellian inscriptions.
