Abstract:

Completely revised and updated in its fifth edition, A Dictionary of
Linguistics and Phonetics is the standard single-volume reference for
its field.

The fifth edition incorporates new words or senses that have developed
in linguistics during the past 5 years, based on recommendations by a
team of experts in phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics and
sociolinguistics. The dictionary now includes more than 5,000 terms,
grouped into over 3,000 entries. The layout has been modified to
increase the effectiveness of cross-referencing, all abbreviations
have been included in a separate table at the end of the book, and a
separate table of symbols has been added.
