Linguistics: The Cambridge Survey is a comprehensive introduction
to current research in all branches of the field of linguistics,
from syntactic theory to ethnography of speaking, from signed
language to the mental lexicon, from language acquisition to
discourse analysis. Each chapter has been written by a specialist
particularly distinguished in his or her field who has accepted the
challenge of reviewing the current issues and future prospects in
sufficient depth for the scholar and with sufficient clarity for
the student. Each volume can be read independently and has a
particular focus. Volume I covers the internal structure of the
language faculty itself, while Volume II considers the evidence
for, and the implications of, a generativist approach to language.
Psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics are covered in Volume III,
and Volume IV concentrates on sociolinguistics and the allied
fields of anthropological linguistics and discourse and
conversation analysis. Several of the chapters in the work
concentrate on the interface between different aspects of
linguistic theory or the boundaries between linguistic theory and
other disciplines. Thus in both its scope and in its approach the
Survey is a unique and fundamental work of reference. It
undoubtedly fulfils the editor's principal aim of providing a
wealth of information, insight and ideas that will excite and
challenge all readers with an interest in linguistics. 'The
contributions are informed, up-to-date and lucid, and many of them
make unusual - in fact, unprecedented - efforts to present opposing
viewpoints fairly and to look at what they have in common rather
than at what divides them. ...The mixture of detached overviews and
strongly argued positions works very well, in my view, and the
editor is to be congratulated for the high standards that are
maintained throughout. The tremendous intellectual energy and
excitement of the field come through strongly, and I shan't
hesitate to recommend many of the chapters to students.' -- The
Times Higher Education Supplement
