Abstract Peter Bakker’s review of my book The emergence of hybrid grammars: Language contact and change, published in Word 62, 4. 228–243, amounts to a catalogue of misrepresentations and misconceptions of the positions I developed there. These claim 12 of his 14-page review. In what follows, I first summarize the hypotheses I developed in the book, intended now for those who have not read it yet, and then I expose Bakker’s inability or unwillingness to interpret the book accurately and critique it competently.
