About this title

Review

"It is a rare occasion when two of the most outstanding scholars in a field cooperate to produce an introductory text. The van Riemsdijk-Williams introduction to linguistics exhibits the high standards of their own original and influential research. There have been important and exciting developments in linguistics in the past few years, which have recast many of the problems of the field and offered new and promising ways to address many of them. Combining technical detail and thoughtful analysis and discussion, this book succeeds in making these ideas accessible to a wider audience while developing a unified, coherent and wide-ranging approach to central topics of current research."- Noam Chomsky
