Review # 1 was written on 2015-02-03 00:00:00 Donald Miller This is an invaluable text--especially for its concluding examination of how modern Anglophone perceptions of color has formed a paradigm in the field of color studies in which the color systems of all other languages must measure up to the 'advanced' perceptions of English-language speakers. Color cannot merely be quantified in a handful of paint chips; it is in much more linguistic and intrinsic flux than such a simple and bloodless reduction as that.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-01-09 00:00:00 Jay Margolis 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".
