Review :
"Too often these days collections of scholarly papers suffer from conceptual buck shot syndrome; they are not targeted toward any well defined problem or perspective. Comprehending Oral and Written Language, however, is an exception in that respect. The volume holds together as a well-focused exploration of the topic domain. Several of the chapters are well on their way to earning status as major contributions to the literature." --Donald Rubin, The University of Georgia
