"This is what a handbook should be: authoritative, inclusive, and accessible... this updated version includes summaries of some of the most important debates and concepts of recent years without becoming bogged down in them. I will definitely use this handbook as my first reference of choice when students and colleagues ask me where to start in this particular field."
--Scott Kiesling, University of Pittsburgh
