Industry Reviews

"These articles are written for an educated general audience, but should be informative to specialists. . . . each article has an excellent bibliography. In addition, there are comprehensive indexes of topics and technical terms and names. Highly recommended for all college and general public libraries."-"Choice ." . . it is clear that Collinge has carefully edited a volume where interdisciplinary knowledge about language is presented formally, yet elegantly.
