2.0 out of 5 stars It's like he speaks. Intelligent yet hard to understand..., May 10, 2000
This review is from: Syntax: A Functional Typological Introduction (2 Volumes) (Paperback)
Oh, the greatest joy is having your instructor of syntax to be the one, the only Tom Givon. I suppose for all the non-UO students, you must merely read his grand text, which we are discussing here. To all who are getting this for school, yes he even speaks this way. In fact, it's stranger in person because of his thick accent (born in Israel, raised in Spain). But don't get me wrong, he is at the top of his field for the subject, he just needs to work on the delivery. This is also chock full of examples, for the proof-desiring.
