"The Blackwell Handbook is a considerable
achievement. It addresses general readers, students of linguistics
and specialists in linguistic sub-disciplines. It shows both the
fluidity of the subject ... and also the large and growing areas of
common interest and importance. Students of literature, psychology
and philosophy could read many of these chapters with great profit,
and it is to be hoped that there will be frequent updatings and
further editions as research and understanding advance."
Jonathan Katz, Times Literary Supplement
"How do Aronoff and Rees-Miller approach the task of enlightenment (or perhaps even proselytization)? Successfully, in my opinion, through a judicious combination of reports on theoretical and applied domains, of items of general and more specialized interest, of traditional and newly-relevant sub-areas, and through a selection of highly competent experts with excellent comunicative skills... If given the broad exposure it deserves, this volume will clearly satisfy its announced goal of permitting the insertion of linguistics topics into educated public discourse. As a result, the editors and authors are to be congratulated for extending this service to the discipline and to the public in general." Canadian Journal of Linguistics
