Abstract
This paper serves as the postscript to the present special issue, in which I briefly report on my impressions of reading the papers. I start with the theoretical models guiding the empirical studies in the special issue. Then, I review the contents of the papers and discuss their findings. Finally, I conclude this postscript with suggestions for future research.
期刊介绍:
Acta Linguistica Academica publishes papers on general linguistics. Papers presenting empirical material must have strong theoretical implications.
