Media Reviews
Few linguistics books go even into a second edition, let alone a fourth; A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics has evidently pleased so many readers and reviewers as to warrant its publishers bringing out new editions of it every five or six years since the first edition appeared in 1980. Its considerable popularity clearly reflects the fact that its coverage of both subject areas and of schools of linguistics is gratifyingly thorough. James McCawley, University of Chicago

A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phoneticsdoes contain much useful information, and will be of use to scholars already familiar with linguistics. Alan Libert, The University of Newcastle, Austrailia
