Review

"This is a highly synthetic eagle's eye view of the field of linguistic studies. Its most important contribution is in being able to make sense of the disparate theorizations of language in the various disciplines - from the natural to the social and the human sciences - and cobble together a coherent meta-theoretical framework..." - Professor Susannah Lily Mendoza, University of Denver"
