Recenzje

'Marcel den Dikkenʼs book Dependency and Directionality is a must-read for syntacticians. It calls into question many long-held assumptions about the building of syntactic structures and replaces standard views with a challenging alternative that is supported with page after page of solid evidence.' Frederick J. Newmeyer, University of Washington Adjunct Professor, University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University, British Columbia
