Reviews
"""This volume offers a wide spectrum of approaches to identifying different classes of functional markers in relation to their lexical sources and to discussing the development of discourse and pragmatic markers, underlining, in a contrastive perspective, the regularities of processes in different languages, to account for the role of both the synchronic and the diachronic dimension, and also for their integration."" --LINGUIST LIST"
