Rezensionen

' ... overall English Words is an excellent introduction to a fascinating topic that goes beyond the traditional focus on morphology and draws upon work in many different fields within linguistics. It is an outstanding example of how different fields within linguistics can all contribute to a fuller understanding of an ultimately quite complex topic such as
words. In doing so it can inspire others to try and emulate this kind of comprehensive approach to words in other languages.' - Linguist List

'English Words is presented as a stimulating introduction to the world of words, and there can be no doubt that Katamba is very successful in terms of first generating and then keeping the reader's interest in this topic throughout the book.' - Michael Haugh, School of Languages and Linguistics, Griffith University
