Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-28 00:00:00 Cavour Mcclain Clear.. what I like the most about this book is that in the first few chapters the authors make very interesting analogies to show how similar language is to any natural phenomena. For example, the notion of locality in syntactic theory is very important, and the authors show how locality is manifested in the interaction among neurons or atoms.. I think educators in particular would find this book enjoyable as it might offer some insight for explaining some of the aspects covered in the book to their students.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-25 00:00:00 Kyle Brundage This is probably my favourite among all the books I had to read for university. It's clear, interesting, and very useful. It helps you understand the Japanese language at a deeper level, and I think just the way this book was written was one of the reasons why I wanted to pursue more courses in linguistics.
