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. This text should have a wide readership: linguists will find in it pleasant echoes of their thoughts and those of their colleagues; students of language will find it interesting and comprehensive; and the general public will find in it many answers to questions they may, or may not, have asked."-Ivan Dihoff, "The Modern Language Journal, Summer, 1991
