SUBJECTIVITY IN A SECOND LANGUAGE: CONVEYING THE EXPRESSION OF SELF.Alan J. E. Wolf. Bern: Peter Lang, 2006. Pp. 248. $52.95 paper.

Wolf's monograph, based on his dissertation, examines ways in which native and nonnative speakers of French use subjectivity markers in personal narratives and in argumentative discourse. This inquiry has two main aims: to identify markers of subjectivity and to see how native and nonnative speakers might differ in the use of these markers.
