«...the book presents a valuable contribution to the study of discourse markers of reformulation. With its clear classification of English reformulators and the systematic presentation of naturally occurring examples (except for the Reassessment group) it gives a good way of orientation in the vast space of reformulation markers and will serve as an excellent reference source for further theoretical studies, as well as for related work in applied and computational linguistics.» (Katja Jasinskaja, Linguist List)
