“With almost superhuman stamina, O. resurrects the method of counting grammatical forms and constructions … Apart from the number-crunching, one often admires the agility … the logic is at times exuberant, almost manic, and there is the occasional swipe at those with whom he disagrees (including this reviewer: but I really hadn’t thought of aspect as a “sensitive and even emotionally charged issue” until I read this book).”
By golly. What an incredible feat, and what a wonderful review.
