Recenzje

'The Cambridge History of linguistics is an impressive one-volume accomplishment which is remarkable by its depth - it spans more than twenty centuries of learned thinking about language - by its breadth - across centuries and across continents - and by the diversity of its themes - a fresco across centuries with a large section devoted to present-day linguistics and interdisciplinary work on language.' Georges Daniel Veronique, Professor emeritus, Aix-Marseille Université
