We are pleased to announce the publication of the Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics 2nd Edition (ELL2), 14 volumes published in print this month and online in early 2006. For more information, visit www.elsevier.com/locate/ell2

ELL2 is aimed at a wide readership. Undergraduates will find it a useful source of material, as will teachers and lecturers. It will also be important at the postgraduate level for summarizing a broad range of theoretical topics, for practical advice on research techniques and for insights into new ways of approaching research problems. We also anticipate that the wide coverage of ELL2 will make it an invaluable and practical source of information for professionals at all levels and in a variety of disciplines as well as for the general reader.

We predict that ELL2 will become the linguist's benchmark reference work for the 21st century.
