Reviews

Schmid's analysis of marked word order and its communicative clues provides us with a manageable tool for the comprehension of meanings that tend to escape and this is the main strength of the book, together with its clear structure. -- Jutta Muschard, Hannover in Germanistik, Band 130, heft 3 (2002)
