本当に良い仕事をしていただいたものです。言語学の現場を歩んできた著者だからこそ書けるのでしょう。言語を正確に観察し、きちんと理解し、その上で明確に理論化するとはどういうことか…という言語学の王道をまっすぐに解説してくれます。英語で書かれた言語学の入門書は数々ありますが、これほど「良い先生に会えた!」感を持てる本は(少なくとも近年は)他にありません。
言語データに基づいて文法を書くとは何か。これを明快な語り口で説明してくれるのですが、これがなんとも楽しい。よくある言語学系の神話(例えば「雪を表すエスキモー語の言葉」の話)に触れたり、理論に振り回されて肝心の言語理解がズッコケている例を出したり、折に触れて主要な文献を紹介してくれたり、かと思うと「サピアが何々していた時に…」という興味深い逸話を紹介したり、「私が何々語を調査していた時に…」という面白い体験談をしてくれたり…これはもう、教科書というより極上の教室というべきでしょう。「受講料」と考えると、この本は非常に安いと言えます。
近年の言語学は、最小理論とか最適化理論とか談話分析とか認知言語学とか文法化その他いろいろ、それぞれに面白いとは言え、なんだか都会を歩いているような疲れを感じるのも事実。時には山に登って良い空気を吸ってみると、「あれれ、本来こっちだったかな」という健康な気分を取り戻す。そんな本です。オススメです。

In Basic Linguistic Theory R. M. W. Dixon provides a new and fundamental characterization of the nature of human languages and a comprehensive guide to their description and analysis. In three clearly written and accessible volumes, he describes how best to go about doing linguistics, the most satisfactory and profitable ways to work, and the pitfalls to avoid. In the first volume he addresses the methodology for recording, analysing, and comparing languages. He argues that grammatical structures and rules should be worked out inductively on the basis of evidence, explaining in detail the steps by which an attested grammar and lexicon can built up from observed utterances. He shows how the grammars and words of one language may be compared to others of the same or different families, explains the methods involved in cross-linguistic parametric analyses, and describes how to interpret the results. Volume 2 and volume 3 (to be published in 2011) offer in-depth tours of underlying principles of grammatical organization, as well as many of the facts of grammatical variation. 'The task of the linguist,' Professor Dixon writes, 'is to explain the nature of human languages - each viewed as an integrated system - together with an explanation of why each language is the way it is, allied to the further scientific pursuits of prediction and evaluation.'
Basic Linguistic Theory is the triumphant outcome of a lifetime's thinking about every aspect and manifestation of language and immersion in linguistic fieldwork. It is a one-stop text for undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics, as well as for those in neighbouring disciplines, such as psychology and anthropology.

レビュー
There can be little doubt that Basic Linguistic Theory is a valuable addition to the linguistic literature, both as a broadly conceived typological study and as an inspiring guide to grammar writers ... BLT covers the principal parts of grammar and probably more extensively so than any other single book of its kind. ― Steffen Haurholm-Larsen, Studies in Language
These are two wonderful books, a treasure trove of ideas and information, a reference work for many decades to come, and a must-have for any field linguist worth his or her salt. It is written in a clear and lucid style.... Dixon's ability to put forward complex ideas in understandable prose is outstanding, and the occasional anecdotal reference to his own field work situations further livens up the prose....I found these books extremely informative, exceedingly useful, and profoundly inspiring. It has given me a renewed motivation to further study the languages I'm involved with. These are books I can recommend to every graduate student in linguistics, to every linguistic field worker - those just starting out as well as those who have finished five grammars. ― René van den Berg, Studies in Language

著者について
R. M. W. Dixon is Adjunct Professor at the Cairns Institute, James Cook University. His pioneering fieldwork on Australian Aboriginal languages began in the 1960s and led, among many other works, to grammars of Dyirbal and Yidiñ, culminating in Australian languages: Their nature and development (CUP 2002). His other books include A Grammar of Boumaa Fijian (U Chicago Press 1988), Ergativity (CUP, 1994), The Rise and Fall of Languages (CUP 1997), The Jarawara Language of Southern Amazonia (OUP 2004), which was winner of the 2004-5 Leonard Bloomfield Prize, and A Semantic Approach to English Grammar (OUP 2005).
