Product Description
Review
"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)
Review
"Much more than a dictionary, this impressive work of judicious scholarship is virtually a course of instruction in the wide range of studies of language. It cannot fail to be of great value to professionals, students, and the general interested public." — Noam Chomsky , Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Format:Paperback
At a first glimpse, this dictionary sounds like heaven: it's got more entries than all the other dictionaries before, it's been written by one of the gods in Linguistics and its layout is presented in a clear and user-friendly way.
However, this dictionary is far from being complete. It might be enough for first year under-graduate students in Linguistics and/or English Language, but it's not gonna make the deal for anything above that.
Since I bought that book not even half a year ago I came up some linguistic words I didn't understand. The first reaction is to look them up in this dictionary. Result: Problem 404 Object not found. It's very disappointing having such a promising book in one's hands and yet not being able to fully use it

A must have for any linguistic student, don't bother with a normal dictionary as it will not suffice. This is the holy grail of linguistic dictionaries.

This book has been extremely beneficial to have,to support my English degree work. Having the revered David Crystal's name on it, sealed the deal. It lives up to my expectations. It is easy to use, and the definitions are very well explained.
