Mouton proudly presents this collection of articles considered to be
representative of author achievements over the past quarter-century of
its publishing history. A selection, of course, can do little more than
make the readers wish for more; it is hoped that these volumes will do
just that.

The book contains essays on phonology, morphology, formal syntax,
functional linguistics, historical linguistics, language and cognition,
language acquisition, discourse and text, sociology of language, and
semiotics.
