Abstract

Review

This publication, coordinated by Eugen Munteanu, appears to be a commemorative volume or special issue dedicated to the esteemed linguist Eugeniu Coșeriu, marking 90 years since his birth. The title alone suggests a significant scholarly endeavor, paying tribute to one of the most influential figures in 20th-century linguistics. The involvement of Eugen Munteanu as coordinator further lends credibility, implying a collection curated with expertise and a deep understanding of Coșeriu's vast contributions to general linguistics, philosophy of language, Romance studies, and historical linguistics. Such a work holds immense potential for both established scholars and new researchers to re-engage with Coșeriu's foundational ideas and assess their continued relevance in contemporary linguistic thought. However, a fundamental omission significantly hampers the ability to properly assess this work: the complete absence of an abstract. In academic publishing, the abstract serves as the crucial gateway to understanding a publication's scope, methodology, key arguments, and principal findings. Without this essential component, potential readers, reviewers, and indexing services are left without any specific information regarding the topics covered, the types of contributions included (e.g., historical analyses, theoretical reinterpretations, applications of Coșeriu's ideas), or the overall intellectual direction of the volume. This lack of initial guidance makes it exceedingly difficult to ascertain the specific academic value, target audience, or the originality of the insights presented within. For any scholarly publication, particularly one commemorating a figure of Coșeriu's stature, the inclusion of a detailed and informative abstract is not merely good practice but a necessity. It is strongly recommended that a comprehensive abstract be developed and provided, outlining the volume's main objectives, the range of topics explored, the scholarly approaches taken by the contributors, and the overarching significance of the collection in advancing Coșeriu studies or linguistic theory more broadly. An effective abstract would significantly enhance the discoverability, accessibility, and scholarly impact of this potentially valuable tribute, ensuring that its contributions are clearly articulated and readily understood by the wider academic community.
