...an excellent grammar, impressive for its completeness of coverage and clarity of exposition...makes effective use of current assumptions in linguistics and of recent advances in the description of the Italian language. Also includes original observations and analyses not available elsewhere. A significant addition to the literature, which will prove difficult to surpass.
