Whew, I can't believe I read the whole thing. As is expected from an edited collection, some chapters were more compelling than others. I liked the construction-specific chapters (tense, aspect, modality, questions, etc) much more than the subfield-overview chapters, possibly because a wall of text with no examples or diagrams makes my eyes glaze over just as much as it did when I was 12. This is a pretty good resource on the whole, but I fear it did cement my interest in socio/syntax/pragmatics over semantics (don't tell my employer)!

Great as a sourcebook...
