`In this book [Miller and Weinert] not only argue strongly for the
importance of the distinction between spontaneous speech and
written language, but also demonstrate effectively its direct and
central relevance to such areas of linguistic theory as historical
change and language acquisition.'
Australian Journal of Linguistics, vol.21
`many nuggets of valuable information and analysis ... The authors
display thorough knowledge and understanding of both formal and
funtional linguistics and have bravely taken on the mantle of
bridge-builders. With their rich data base and close analyses, they
show that the convergence of views which is detectable in
contemporary linguistics can be profitably put into practice.'
