Very Good in Good DJ: The Book shows a hint of shelving wear to the lower extremities; a bit of crimping to the head and heel of the backstrip; faint blotchiness to the top edge of the text block, which is also lightly dusted; the binding leans very slightly, but remains secure; the text is clean.

Book Description

This is a full-length study of a Celtic language from the standpoint of modern linguistic theory. Dr Awbery particularly discusses a topic - the passive form of the verb - which has itself been of central interest in previous work on transformational grammar. She is thus able to test certain tenets of transformational theory against data from a previously unconsidered language.
