"Reading this volume transported me back to Harvard and MIT lecture
halls of the 1960s, where weekly Roman Jakobson would spellbind his
audience (this reviewer included), developing his vision of
language through impassioned exposition, deft and devastating
allusions to critical literature, anecdotes with the force of
parables, metaphors of mythic imagery, and above all else
overriding verbal artistry: truly in his own phrase, 'In the poetry
of grammar'. The Sound Shape of Language, his collaboration with
Linda R. Waugh, a scholar who has devoted considerable attention to
an exposition and elaboration of Jakobsonian views, fortunately has
preserved in print the authoritative lectorial voice." Michael
Silverstein in Journal of Communication
