`It is clear that Collinge has carefully edited a volume where interdisciplinary knowledge about language is presented formally, yet elegantly. This text should have a wide readership: linguists will find in it pleasant echoes of their thoughts and those of their colleagues; students of language will find it interesting and comprehensive; and the general public will find in it many answers to questions they may, or may not, have asked.' - Ivan Dihoff, The Modern Language Journal

Product Description


In this indispensable reference, twenty-nine leaders in the field describe how language works--accounting for its nature, use, study, and history. An Encyclopaedia of Language provides a truly comprehensive overview of how the various branches of linguistic study have arrived at their current positions. It divides the subject into three logical sections: 1) the "inner nature" of language; 2) its interaction with other disciplines; and 3) some special aspects of its study and use.


Readers will find detailed coverage of: how language works; how language is taught and learned; phonetics; grammar and semantics; how linguists research their subjects and interpret results; second languages; language and computation; writing systems; the history of language study; the evolution of language; the distribution of languages around the world; lexicography; dialectology; and other topics.


Enjoy:-)
