forthcoming book on form and function

[Frederick Newmeyer]

To all FUNKNET subscribers,

I've just finished a book that I think will be of interest to many of you.
It's called LANGUAGE FORM AND LANGUAGE FUNCTION and will be published by
MIT Press. In a nutshell I argue that syntactic structure is BOTH
'autonomous' AND functionally motivated. I've put Chapter I on the Web if
you would like to have a look. The URL is:

I won't be sending MIT Press the final version for another month, so if
you have any comments I would love to hear them.
