<p>Dear Sebastian, dear all,</p>
<p>I will generally use resources of this type when establishing and
delimiting very basic terminology in my writing (e.g., "aspect",
"asyndeton") and possibly wanting to illustrate to what extent
definitions and conceptions diverge even for terms that are
considered so basic, they'll often go completely undefined. I have
no special (dis-)loyalty to any one resource - Glottopedia is what
I'd use if I want to give a quick reference to what the ~consensus
is; I don't directly cite Wikipedia but will use it to get an
overview of how definitions might diverge; beyond that, it depends
on which resource will have definitions that might expand upon, or
deviate from, definitions used in the thematic literature I'm
working on, what I have in hand, what the literature I read refers
to.<br>
</p>
<p>The single resources I've used most that could fall (very)
roughly into this category are:</p>
<p>de Gruyter: <i>Morphologie. Morphology. Ein internationales
Handbuch zur Flexion und Wortbildung. An International Handbook
on Inflection and Word-Formation</i><br>
Cambridge: <i>World Lexicon of Grammaticalization</i><br>
</p>
<p>Best,<br>
Jeremy</p>

all,
<br>
most larger publishing houses have something called "Encyclopedia
of
<br>
Linguistics" or similar.
<br>
<br>
I would like to whether fellow list members a) use any of them and
b) if
<br>
you do use them, whether you have a preference and why, and which
ones
<br>
you would recommend, and why.
<br>
<br>
I have found the following:
<br>
1) Elsevier: Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics
<br>
2) Oxford: International Encyclopedia of Linguistics
<br>
3) Routledge: Encyclopedia of Linguistics
<br>
4) de Gruyter: Wörterbücher zur Sprach- und
Kommunikationswissenschaft
<br>
5) Brill: Encylopedia of (Slavic|Greek|Arabic|Hebrew)
Linguistics
<br>
6) Cambridge: Encyclopedia of Language (much shorter than the
rest)
<br>
7) Glottopedia.org
<br>
8) Wikipedia.org
<br>
9) Lexicon of linguistics: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lexicon.hum.uu.nl/">https://lexicon.hum.uu.nl/</a>
<br>
<br>
I would also like to know whether there are some comparable
projects
<br>
which I may have missed.
<br>
<br>
Best wishes
<br>
Sebastian
