Reviews

Rosa Graciela Montes, Benemerita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, in Spanish in Context 15:1 (2018):
The book provides rich grounds for reflection on a particularly complex area of discourse which seems to be intuitively easy to recognize but extremely difficult to analyze consistently. [...] It is clear that the variety involved and the different types of examples used in the book make this area one of great interest, considerable complexity and wonderful opportunities for continued research.
