Review # 1 was written on 2016-08-29 00:00:00 Christopher Prillwitz Interesting introduction. However, whilst Block manages to bring together different surveys and papers on second language identities and the general concept of identity this book unfortunately did not manage to answer my question how language identity differs from cultural identity (and I do think there is a difference, but maybe this has to be explored in a more linguistic way). Still, interesting read :)

Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-08 00:00:00 Robert Tubbs I started to read this textbook as an introduction to current work in syntactic theory by Chomsky known as the Minimalist Program. I have tried the author Andrew Radford before (I have read most of his books on syntactic theory starting with his 1981's Transformational Syntax: A Student's Guide to Chomsky's Extended Standard Theory- which is not enlisted here in Goodreads), and I like his way, it helps me especially as I have to read on my own without any help from an instructor.
