Recenzje

'A valuable addition to the body of work that exists on language in Indonesia … Goebel draws on an extensive and complex body of theoretical work, but his writing style and attention to detail make it possible for a reader with little prior exposure to grasp his main arguments.' William M. Cotter, PhD student, University of Arizona
