Editorial Reviews

In sum, this book, while not for the faint-hearted or unmotivated student, has several great merits: it never patronizes the reader; it tries to interest him in the structure of language, it offers a wealth of different exercises, and most of all, it conveys the authors' evident joy in the study of language.
