“The Handbook of Contemporary Syntactic Theory is an extraordinary accomplishment. Baltin and Collins have succeeded in assembling a sizeable number of the world’s leading syntacticians, each of whom has produced a readable overview of the issues in his or her area of specialization. It is to the credit of the editors that this book is valuable both as a reference work and as a critical evaluation of current thinking. All linguists, not just syntacticians, stand to benefit from having a copy within reach.” Frederick J. Newmeyer, University of Washington

“Here is yet another impressive addition to Blackwell’s series of Handbooks in Linguistics” Canadian Journal of Linguistics
