Description: Completely revised and updated in its fourth edition, A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics is the standard single-volume reference for its field.

The fourth edition incorporates new words or senses which have developed in linguistics during the 1990s. Some 15 per cent larger than the preceding edition in its coverage, the dictionary contains new aspects of linguistic theory and research, including the developing terminology of principles and parameter theory in syntax and of the minimalist program; non-linear phonology; contemporary semantics; and speech recognition and synthesis, with associated acoustics terminology.
