Syntax and Human Experience
"[Ruwet] raises fundamental questions about the place of grammar in the study of language and provides several studies which suggest the possibility that some core data are outside the realm of grammatical explanation. A very remarkable book, in which the breadth of Ruwet’s reflection is both challenging and deeply rewarding."—Denis Bouchard, University of Quebec, Montreal
