Reviews

Reviews of the first publication: ‘…it makes worthwhile reading for those interested in the mechanisms of word order change or in the history of English syntax.’ — Australian Journal of Linguistics, Volume 5. Issue 1 ‘…the book is a good one, nicely argued and well-informed. It is a must for any collection on OE syntax, language typology, or historical linguistics. I would recommend it as a text for courses in these fields.’ — Edwin Battistella, Language, Vol. 60, No.
