     George L. Campbell, CONCISE COMPENDIUM OF THE WORLD'S LANGUAGES
     Now available in paperback, The Concise Compendium of the World's
     Languages provides clear snapshots of over one hundred languages.
     Drawn from the more comprehensive two volume Compendium of the World's
     Languages, the articles selected for this volume discuss most
     languages spoken today by populations of at least five to ten million
     people, as well as minor languages that figure prominently in the
     contemporary socio-political context. This combination allows
     little-known languages, such as Akan, Navajo, Basque and Zulu, to
     figure prominently alongside the mainstream languages such as Arabic,
     French, Chinese and Russian. Each entry considers the phonological,
     morphological and lexical features of the language it discusses.
     Written for language buffs who want to know-in broad outline-how lots
     of languages work, this terrific book compiles loads of information in
     one affordable volume.

     PB: 0 415 16049 9: #D4087: $32.99


     R.R.K. Hartmann and Gregory James, DICTIONARY OF LEXICOGRAPHY
     Despite the frequency with which dictionaries are unquestioningly
     consulted, many have little idea what actually goes into producing
     them or how meanings are definitively ascertained. This up-to-date
     reference work provides straightforward and forward-looking listings
     of lexicographical terms.
