He has written fieldwork-based descriptive grammars,
bilingual dictionaries, and books on comparative/historical and historical/sociolinguistic topics in Turkic linguistics as well as numerous articles on a range of typological, areal, and historical
linguistic topics.

Reviews

Anderson handsomely accomplishes what he set out to do, and provides a solid basis for continued cross-linguistic study of AVCs. No one interested in auxiliary phenomena can afford to ignore its contents and its analyses. Sanford B. Steever, Linguistlist An insightful and thorough study...an impressive book with lots of examples, very well-produced...I very much like this study, since it provides a different way of looking at auxiliaries.
