Publisher Synopsis
...welcomed by linguistics interested in typology...it achieves the goal of providing a representative picture of the diversity of languages. Anna Giacalone Ramet Archivio Glottologico Italiano The World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS) is a lot of fun ... Addictively much fun ... To say that WALS significantly increases the degreee to which linguists are exposed to typological mapping is to make a great understatement ... the CD is wonderful ... This is a very real chance to spot correlations between different linguistic features, between linguistic features and areas, and between linguistic features and language families. And, to return to the start of this review: it's a lot of fun. Mark Donohue, Monash University and National University of Singapore I suspect that many linguists will not be able to resist curling up with this massive volume on rainy days just for the fun facts. Books & Culture Handsome, original, and incredibly useful. John A. Hawkins, University of Cambridge Read more...
