In this indispensable reference, twenty-nine leaders in the field
describe how language works--accounting for its nature, use, study,
and history. "An Encyclopaedia of Language" provides a truly
comprehensive overview of how the various branches of linguistic
study have arrived at their current positions. It divides the
subject into three logical sections: 1) the "inner nature" of
language; 2) its interaction with other disciplines; and 3) some
special aspects of its study and use.
Readers will find detailed coverage of: how language works; how
language is taught and learned; phonetics; grammar and semantics;
how linguists research their subjects and interpret results; second
languages; language and computation; writing systems; the history
of language study; the evolution of language; the distribution of
languages around the world; lexicography; dialectology; and other
topics.
