Recenzje

'A dense, technical and thoroughly argued book, CiGG [Control in Generative Grammar] will be highly useful to researchers and advanced graduate students that need to get up to speed on the details of control; whatever their specific objectives, they can be certain to find what they are looking for … Given that the phenomenon of control is inextricably linked to a host of equally prominent phenomena, CiGG should thus appeal to a wide range of researchers in formal syntax and semantics. If Landau's exceptional achievement inspires future research companions of comparable depth on other topics aiming to tread in its footsteps, as I expect it to do, its service to the field will be even greater.'
