Reviews

The book, and its associated online material, are a good introduction for all students and scholars specialising in linguistics and interested in understanding the interface between linguistic and cognitive representations. Although the format of the book - a collection of lectures - may sometimes give rise to a certain incongruence, this volume is surprisingly wellstructured, as the author progresses through the lectures in explaining the theory in a coherent way. [...] [S]everal questions are still pending: how many thematic roles do we need, and how should each role be characterised? Other studies grounded in cognitive psychology may help answer these questions [...]. The work resumed by Zack in this volume, however, has the merit of showing the relevance of such a question for embedding cognition into grammar. - Marta Donazzan, Laboratoire de Linguistique de Nantes, in: Linguist List, January 8th, 2021
