Review:

Many other scholars in linguistics can find plenty of food for thought in this stimulating book. [...]Linguists have a lot to gain and little to lose by reading this book, especially if they never read these articles by Geeraerts when they were first published. Craig Hamilton in: Lexis 3/2007
