Description
The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Linguistics is an authoritative reference source covering all aspects of linguistics. With 3,250 entries, it spans grammar, phonetics, semantics, languages, dialects, and sociolinguistics.
Clear examples and diagrams help explain even the most technical terms, while entries on key scholars provide a summary of their specialisms and achievements. This new edition has expanded its coverage of semantics and recently emerging terminology in areas such as syntactic theory and sociolinguistics.
Thoroughly revised and updated existing entries are complemented by 100 new additions, making it an ideal reference for students and teachers in language-related courses, or a great introduction to linguistics for those with an interest in language and its study.
