Product Description

Synopsis
Completely revised and updated in its fourth edition, A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics is the standard single-volume reference for its field.The fourth edition incorporates new words or senses which have developed in linguistics during the 1990s. Some 15 per cent larger than the preceding edition in its coverage, the dictionary contains new aspects of linguistic theory and research, including the developing terminology of principles and parameter theory in syntax and of the minimalist program: non-linear phonology: contemporary semantics: and speech recognition and synthesis, with associated acoustics terminology.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as promising as it sounds, 25 Jul 2003
By SunCed (Sheffield/Linger) - See all my reviews
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
