Academy of Sciences and the American Council of Learned Societies. The first volume, Language Typofogy 1985, was published by Benjamins in 1986 (ed. W. P. Lehmann). The volume to be reviewed now, Language Typofogy 1987, contains 13 articles centering around the problem of area1 and typological factors interacting in the historical change of languages. In the review, I will follow the order of articles in the book.

Reviewing a collection of papers is usually problematic, since the reviewer either mentions each contribution equally and inadequately or concentrates on a few contributions and thus fails to do justice to the balance of the volume. I will adopt a middle course, giving at least a summary of each contribution as a guide to potentially interested readers and concentrating on those papers that seemed to me to present particularly important and innovative ideas. The scene for the thematic organization of the volume around diachronic typology is set by Viktoria N. Yartseva's introductory article on "General and Specific Tendencies in Historical Change of Language Type" (1-16). Robert Austerlitz, "Typology in the Service of Internal Reconstruction: Saxalin Nivx" (17-33), takes the complex and areally unusual consonant inventory and phonotactics of the Saxalin dialect of Nivx (Gilyak) and shows how internal reconstruction suggests its historical development from a simpler system more similar to those of other languages in the area (e.g., Japanese, Ainu, Tungusic languages). In areal typology much effort has been devoted to showing how languages are influenced typologically by their neighbors. Austerlitz's paper is a valuable reminder that it is also possible for a language to undergo internal changes from an areally typical to an areally atypical system. His conclusions are valuable in reconstructing prehistorical areal relations among the languages of northeastern Asia. Alan Timberlake, "Typology and Phonological History" (35-56), shows how insight can be gained into a number of problems in historical phonology (e.g., the Slavic Palatalizations, velar series in Proto-Indo-European, Verner's Law) by considering not so much typological parallels of synchronic systems,

Ennek ellenére Platóntól Bergsonig értekezések százai taglalják ezt a témát: olykor megfeddve a sok felelőtlenül röhögő embert, akik hajlamosak elfeledni, hogy Jézus például soha nem nevetett — miként erre már Aranyszájú Szent János is rámutatott.

Az eirón kijelent valamit, ami más, mint ami a véleménye. Feltételezi ugyanis, hogy a hallgatóság úgyis tudni fogja, hogy mit is gondolt ő valójában. A hallgatóság pedig (szerencsés esetben) felfogja, hogy a beszélőnek nem állhatott szándékában hazudni, de azért nem is gondolhatta komolyan azt, amit mondott — tehát nyilván ironizált.
