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