Editorial Reviews
Review
Gries has diligently compiled a work of great use and interest. It is relevant
above all to linguistic students and researchers, and can readily act as a
textbook for taught courses. It should be noted that the book is equally useful
as a reference guide, with the analysis scenarios sufficiently well labelled and
organized so that the reader can dip into it as and when necessary, or as a
complete set of exercises which the reader can work through section by section.
