Editorial Reviews

Booknews
The new edition (previous eds.: 1980 & 1985) adds around 300 new words or senses (a 20% increase) which have developed in linguistics during the 1980s, chiefly in relation to the newer models of linguistic theory, including a full account of the terminology of government- binding theory. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
From the Publisher
"This is the standard, modestly priced, single-volume reference work for its esoteric fields. Essential stock in all libraries, at all levels; an invaluable text book for teacher and student; and another huge achievement for its distinguished progenitor!" (Reference Review, November 2009)
