Rezensionen

"Linguistics has long been in need of a collection that summarizesthe nature of the field and its various aspects - something at onceaccessible enough to recommend to non-linguists and substantiveenough to give real answers to their questions. Aronoff andRees-Miller have given us just that, and a number of the surveysthey have included will be informative even for specialists. Thisbook should do a major service for the relations between linguistsand their colleagues, and among various flavors of linguist aswell." Stephen R. Anderson, Yale University

"The Blackwell Handbook is a considerableachievement. It addresses general readers, students of linguisticsand specialists in linguistic sub-disciplines. It shows both thefluidity of

the subject ... and also the large and growing areas ofcommon interest and importance. Students of literature, psychologyand philosophy could read many of these chapters with great profit,and it is to be hoped that there will be frequent updatings andfurther editions as research and understanding advance."Jonathan Katz, Times Literary Supplement

"How do Aronoff and Rees-Miller approach the task ofenlightenment (or perhaps even proselytization)? Successfully, inmy opinion, through a judicious combination of reports ontheoretical and applied domains, of items of general and morespecialized interest, of traditional and newly-relevant sub-areas,and through a selection of highly competent experts with excellentcomunicative skills... If given the broad exposure it deserves,this volume will clearly satisfy its announced goal of permittingthe insertion of linguistics topics into educated public discourse.As a result, the editors and authors are to be congratulated forextending this service to the discipline and to the public ingeneral."
