Praise

“This terrific book is open-access! [ . . . ] Kubota and Levine report on a decade of heavy lifting in their efforts to develop Hybrid Type-Logical Categorial Grammar (Hybrid TLCG), which they use to study a range of constructions that will make the heart of any syntactician beat faster: gapping, stripping, various exotic types of coordination, pseudogapping, ellipsis, islands, and more.”—Journal of Linguistics
