Recenzje

'Russell's thorough scholarship and wide research are evidenced by densely packed in-text citations and thirty pages of references … No review of this impressive book could close without kudos to the designer, who has produced a masterpiece-simply the most beautiful cover of an academic book that I have ever come across.' Katherine J. Quigley, Language in Society
