Several advantages of Hudson's simple framework are made clear by these interesting papers, including its cognitive basis and its ease of representing many complex phenomena across languages.'

'The authors of this book throw new light on a well-established theory of Word Grammar as proposed by Richard Hudson, comparing it both to more recent trends, and to the theory of dependency grammar. In this sense, this volume offers not only a wider perspective on the theory of Word Grammar with regard to the language phenomena belonging to different language layers, but presents an original contribution to the study of language.'
