Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is the standard, modestly priced, single-volume reference work for its esoteric fields. Essential stock in all libraries, at all levels; an invaluable text book for teacher and student; and another huge achievement for its distinguished progenitor!" (Reference Review, November 2009)

Review

"Much more than a dictionary, this impressive work of judicious scholarship is virtually a course of instruction in the wide range of studies of language. It cannot fail to be of great value to professionals, students, and the general interested public."
―Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Amazingly useful

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 6, 2009

Verified Purchase

This book is extremely useful for linguists, because of the large variation in terminology from linguist to linguist it is helpful to have a professional dictionary that has a surplus of terms and definitions to match. I'd recommend getting a copy if you are a Undergrad, the sooner the better. I am positive you will continue to use it throughout your linguistic development. I give only a four star because some of the definitions aren't deep enough if you don't already have a strong grasp of the term already.

I have found this book to be an excellent resource for an introductory course in linguistics (History of the German Language). It covers most of the vocabulary that was foreign (new) to me and helped greatly in my studies. (Also see my review of Campbell)

This book has been extremely beneficial to have,to support my English degree work. Having the revered David Crystal's name on it, sealed the deal. It lives up to my expectations. It is easy to use, and the definitions are very well explained.

A must-have

A must have for any linguistic student, don't bother with a normal dictionary as it will not suffice. This is the holy grail of linguistic dictionaries.
