Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Articles by some 400 scholarly linguists describe concisely many linguistic sub-specialties and concepts. A useful feature is the large number of articles on specific languages or language families, from Akkadian to Zapotec. (Zulu is treated under African languages.) Articles are arranged alphabetically, but appendixes group subjects into topic areas and languages into families. A glossary defines terms; cross references and an index direct the reader to the right article. Numerous bibliographies and some excellent illustrations are provided. As the preface indicates, the work is intended for experts, and some articles are quite technical. Therefore, public libraries will probably wish to continue using David Crystal's very readable Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language ( LJ 5/1/88) or the general encyclopedias. Recommended for academic libraries.

Review
"This updated and expanded edition of the ten-year-old International Encyclopedia of Linguistics remains an important scholarly source, with well-considered changes to William Bright's original work. ...if your library found use for the first edition, you will want to replace it now. Recommended for all academic libraries." --Library Journal
