About this title

Review

"Much more than a dictionary, this impressive work of judicious scholarship is virtually a course of instruction in the wide range of studies of language. It cannot fail to be of great value to professionals, students, and the general interested public."
Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

From the Back Cover

Completely revised and updated in its fifth edition, A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics is the standard single–volume reference for its field.

The fifth edition incorporates new words or senses that have developed in linguistics recently, based on recommendations by a team of experts in phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics and sociolinguistics. The dictionary now includes more than 5,000 terms, grouped into over 3,000 entries. The layout has been modified to increase the effectiveness of cross–referencing, all abbreviations have been included in a separate list at the beginning of the book, and a table of symbols has been added.
