Abstract

When I saw that this book was a comprehensive study of the relationships across discourse,grammar, and prosody, my spirits sagged. “Oh, no,” I thought. “Notthis story again.” But 20 pages into the book I realized that Lambrecht hadtaken anew and sobering approach to the subject, tackling a very hard subject and giving convincinganswers with clear data.
