Reviews

The book is the result of a massive and thorough piece of work...bringing the reader with an impressive study of the subject. ... [A] (vast) contribution...to the field of Linguistics. --Linguist List<br>


Not only is Stassen to be commended for the amount of data on which his conclusions are based, but also for the degree of detail that makes this book an exemplar for linguistic typology.....This book is an important contribution to our understanding of intransitive predicates. * Michael Boutin, Notes on Linguistics Vol 3 2000 * Review from previous edition It is difficult to do justice in a review to a book of this magnitude. The book provides a valuable set of data and convincing arguments to support the typology proposed ... A value of the book is that the proposed typology provides a solid foundation for future empirical investigation. The book is the second in a series on typology. I hope that subsequent volumes in the series will be of such a high quality. * Edith L Bavin, Linguistics Vol 35 1999 *
