Abstract
This theme issue is the third in a series of special Review (double or triple) issues that focus on much debated topics, or offer critiques of current-day approaches in the area of linguistics. The approach of these special issues has been to select a recent book or article that discusses a topic or theory in question and to then invite a number of other scholars to use this book or article as a jumping off point from which each contributor can extrapolate further on the benefits or shortcomings of the subject at hand and discuss the overall impact such topic or approach has on the field at large. As is the case for non-thematic issues, each contribution is subjected to independent anonymous reviews so that peer-reviewed quality is guaranteed.
