Concise Oxford Dictionary of Linguistics 2014

The third edition of The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Linguistics is an authoritative
and invaluable reference source covering every aspect of its wide-ranging field.
In 3,250 entries the Dictionary spans grammar, phonetics, semantics, languages
(spoken and written), dialects, and sociolinguistics. Clear examples - and diagrams
where appropriate - help to convey the meanings of even the most technical terms.
It also incorporates entries on key scholars of linguistics, both ancient and modern,
summarising their specialisms and achievements.

With existing entries thoroughly revised and updated, and the addition
of 100 new entries, this new edition expands its coverage of semantics, as well
as recently emerging terminology within, for example, syntactic theory and sociolinguistics.
Wide-ranging
and with clear definitions, it is the ideal reference for students and teachers
in language-related courses, and a great introduction to linguistics for the general
reader with an interest in language and its study.

Readership: Students at A-level or above studying linguistics,
English linguistics, language, and related topics; teachers of the same subjects;
and general readers interested in languages and the theory of language.
