5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent textbook!,
This review is from: Introduction to Typology: The Unity and Diversity of Language (Paperback)
This is indeed a great book, especially for those without a strong background in the field, yet it is not boring at all for the initiated. Very up to date, theoretically sound and pedagogically effective, I recommend it strongly for those interested in linguistic typology.
