Review
"In the rapidly developing field of linguistics, articles are outdated almost before they appear in print; to collect previously published articles in a book presupposes an immortality not only alien to the inquiry but also unwarranted by the provisional nature of the results. The book presents a collection of 'working papers' on various problems in phonology, syntax, semantics, and linguistic theory, all valuable contributions by an eminent linguist during the past decade. The essays are, however, of a technical nature and hold little interest for the general reader." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
