'A fascinating, comprehensive, and up-to-date collection of articles on almost every linguistic topic: a valuable sourcebook for anyone interested in language'. -Jean Aitchison'This encyclopedia makes the daunting challenge of mastering linguistics manageable. Under every entry are concise explanations with enough details to make the topic clear. These articles are short enough to prove accessible for undergraduates, but detailed enough to provide direction for research faculty. Whether students are working on research papers, or researchers are making interdisciplinary connections, this encyclopedia makes modern linguistics knowledge available.' - Kirk Hazen, West Virginia University, USA
