Trade Review
"This is an excellent book. It provides the reader with a good account of recent work on quantitative discourse approaches to language universals and typology, with plenty of exemplification, in a way that shows the reader not only how one can do this kind of work but why it is interesting and revealing to do so. No other book comes even close to this one in its scope." Bernard Comrie, University of Southern California
