From the first paragraph:<br />
<i><br /></i>
“I have chosen 5 of the 15 papers to describe in some detail. Each paper in the collection, however, deserves a full review in its own right. In fact, the collection is a fascinating read for any student of SLA.”<br />

These proceedings deserve a wide audience, as both the generalist and the specialist will find cogent studies by young researchers and by established scholars alike." He goes on to say, "The overall quality of the papers in this volume is high, and much of what is included here presents new, original data that challenge or refine existing<br />
scholarship."<br />

In a recent <a href="http://linguistlist.org/pubs/reviews/get-review.cfm?SubID=4528441">Linguist List review</a>, Benjamin Schmeiser writes,<br />
<blockquote>Changes in the current edition include updates and new information that improve an already exceptional and highly practical text.... When I teach with this text, I find the almost uncontainable urge to remind students how lucky they are to have it and to tell them that I did not have this text 'when I was a graduate student'. I do resist, though, but I will say now that graduate students will immensely benefit from this text, and yes, I do so dearly wish I had this text 'when I was a graduate student'.</blockquote>Go to the Cascadilla Press web site to buy your own copy of the new edition of <a href="http://www.cascadilla.com/surviving.html"><i>Surviving Linguistics</i></a> or to order 10-packs for your department.Cascadilla Presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07861350209423319529noreply@blogger.com0
