Word order (by Fried, Mirjam)ReviewsThis Handbook is a fascinating compilation of very different articles,all of which come together around the central theme of pragmatics in itsbroadest interpretive sense. The contributions span mainstream and less commonlyinvestigated issues. Each contribution provides a detailed theoreticalcomponent, often accompanied by an overview of the historical development of theparticular line of thought in each area. A description of how research isconducted within each framework is also given. As well, most of thecontributions contain information about specific studies in their area to helpthe reader connect the theoretical and analytical information. The work isconsistently well done and it is clear that the editors have done a remarkablejob in bringing cohesion to very disparate works. -- Lisa DeWaard Dykstra, Clemson University, on Linguist List 21.2978 (2011) Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
