"Linguistic has long been in need of a collection that summarize the nature of the field and its various aspect- something at once accessible enough to recommended to non-linguistis and substantive enough to give real answers to their questions. Aronoff and Rees-Miller have given us just that, a number of the surveys they have include will be inforamtive even for specialists. This book should do a major service for the relations between Lingustis and their colleagues, and among various flavors of Linguist as well."
