Reviews
"""It will be the best introduction to arc pair grammar (APG) available, and as such will be a standard work for anyone who wishes to learn something about this framework."" - Geoffrey K. Pullum, Cowell College, University of California at Santa Cruz ""Postal provides a detailed crosslinguistic account of a construction-type that has long been at the center of syntactic investigation but has resisted real explanation so far. The book will be of great interest to anyone working on grammatical relations, regardless of their particular theoretical leanings."" - Mark Aronoff, State University of New York at Stony Brook"
