Michael Daniel present a collection of 23 contributions spanning over 900 pages, offering a broad and detailed account of the formal and semantic complexity of number across a diverse sample of the world's languages.In the introductory chapter, Number in the World's Languages: Configuring the Variation Space ( 1), the editors summarize past and recent advances in the typological literature on number marking and acknowledge the challenging complexity of number as a linguistic category.This complexity includes the network of phenomena connected to the expression of number combined with a rich formal and distributional variation.Phenomena often associated with number in languages include distributive and collective readings, reciprocity, genericity, plurality of events, associative and general extender functions, and, along the pragmatic dimension, politeness.In addition, grammatical number varies significantly in its formal encoding, even within the same language.Number marking splits and variation are also common: a language may feature several (often unpredictable) number markers and processes, which may cumulate with categories other than number, such as case, noun class, and others.Depending on context and discourse factors, number formatives may overlap with other functions, such as distributivity or any of the phenomena mentioned above.Given this semantic and formal richness and complexity, the editors set the overall goal of the volume to be an empirical comparative overview of number in the world's languages, focusing on language-specific (or area-specific) descriptions by language experts and specialists who have engaged with the data, thus offering a detailed perspective on number and the constellation of number-related phenomena within a language or groups of languages.The language sample covered in the book spans diverse areas, which include Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Northern Eurasia, the Pacific and Australia, and the Americas.The volume is organized around these geographic partitions that
