Summary:

Mouton proudly presents this collection of articles considered to be representative of author achievements over the past quarter-century of its publishing history.

The book contains essays on Phonology, Morphology, Formal Syntax, Functional Linguistics, Historical Linguistics, Language and Cognition, Language Acquisition, Discourse and Text, Sociology of Language, Semiotics.
