Editorial Reviews

A core of papers presented at seminars on verbal semantics in 1986 and 1987 in Odense is augmented by invited contributions from scholars who work in languages outside the mainstream of current linguistic discussion to emphasize and strengthen the typological aspects of the seminars. Among the 17 topics are Russian aspects as different statement models, aspects as boundedness in Finnish, morphosyntactic and semantic restructuring in a central Sudanic language, Aleut tenses and aspects, and the place of reduplication in the tense-aspect system of Swedish Sign Language. Indexed only by name and language. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
