Reviews

...I highly recommend this volume for its wealth of interesting data and the quality of the discussion.

thought provoking
*Michael Maxwell, Linguist List*

This is a remarkable volume, and the first of its kind. All contributions discuss interesting phenomena. Most of them are of high quality and some strike me as truly impressive because they offer new typological or theoretical ideas ... a great service to the field.
