Abstract:

The Cambridge Dictionary of Linguistics provides concise and clear definitions
of all the terms any undergraduate or graduate student is likely to encounter
in the study of linguistics and English language or in other degrees involving
linguistics, such as modern languages, media studies and translation. lt
covers the key areas of syntax, morphology, phonology, phonetics, semantics
and pragmatics but also contains terms from discourse analysis, stylistics,
historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, computational
linguistics and corpus linguistics. It provides entries for 246 languages,
including 'major' languages and languages regularly mentioned in research
papers and textbooks. Features include cross-referencing between entries and
extended entries on some terms. Where appropriate, entries contain
illustrative examples from English and other languages and many provide
etymologies bringing out the metaphors lying behind the technical terms. Also
available is an electronic version of the dictionary which includes
'clickable' cross-referencing.

List of abbreviations; Phonetic symbols for English; Introduction; The
dictionary.
