Linguistics Encyclopedia

By Kirsten Malmkjaer

Book Overview

This alphabetically-arranged Encyclopedia is of value to anyone with an academic or professional interest in linguistics or language studies. The 80 main articles cover 150 sub-areas of the discipline, discussing their development, methodology, terminology, theoretical issues and controversies. The range is wide: syntax, morphology, phonology, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics, writing systems, language acquisition and speech therapy. Each article will be of use to both students needing basic grounding in a given topic, and to teachers or professionals seeking to know more about an area outside their own specialization. A comprehensive Index and Bibliography make The Linguistics Encyclopedia the prime reference book for anyone who wishes to understand the nature and workings of language.

Older But Same Number of Pages Indicates High Value

My review applies to the teal color hardcover. Good to see they are making new "editions", but I hope they are not sullying a classic with fake updates. See the earlier 90s version while still available. Becoming R A R E ! This alphabetically-arranged Encyclopedia valuable to interest in linguistics or language studies. Some will call this not only an encyclopedia OF linguistics, but perhaps THE linguistics encyclopedia of all time. BUY THIS HIGH VALUE EDITION. It is the same number of pages on this topic.
