Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-29 00:00:00 Joseph Deacon This is an excellent overview of major thinkers about language, mostly in the 20th century. Most academics unfamiliar with major trends in linguistics will find this useful. These "landmarks" have impacted how all scholars and academics do their work, not just in language studies. I also like that the authors take a broad disciplinary view of what constitutes "linguistic thought." It is not just those talking about morphemes, language acquisition devices, etc. All around, a very nice overview.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-09 00:00:00 Keith Wright It's hard to judge a book coming from a framework you're critical of. The authors did a great work and everything but I often feel generativists are trying to fit a square in a circular-shaped hole. I'm just a PhD student and there's plenty I don't know, but this is the impression I have when I compare this with "Grammaticalization".
