Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This second volume examines asymmetry in language by focusing on how linguistic form and meaning align or diverge.
Building on the concepts introduced in Volume 1, this volume analyzes symmetry and asymmetry in form-meaning relations using examples from antonym pairs, subject-object contrasts, and the markedness patterns of adjectives. It integrates several linguistic levels, emphasizing how functional and cognitive factors drive these phenomena. The concluding discussion posits that asymmetry persists as a core feature of language, whereas symmetry is conditional and transient.
This volume will appeal to linguists, language educators, and anyone seeking deeper insights into linguistic structure and function, particularly in Chinese linguistics, markedness research, and comparative language studies.
