Key Concepts in Language and Linguistics
KEY CONCEPTS IN LANGUAGE AND
LINGUISTICS
¡®This is brilliant book. It combines the readability of Pinker with the
breadth and erudition of Crystal, and deserves a place of honour as a
summary of the best of twentieth-century linguistics¡ªliberal,
scholarly, forward-looking, undogmatic, sensible, practical and
above all wide ranging. Every linguist will be pleased with most of
it¡and every student will cling to it and love it.¡¯
Richard Hudson, University College London
Key Concepts in Language and Linguistics is an A-Z guide to the main terms and
concepts used in the study of language and linguistics. The book includes
definitions of:
? terms used in grammatical analysis from phoneme to componential analysis;
? branches of linguistics from semantics to neurolinguistics;
? approaches used in studying language from critical discourse analysis to
Systemic Linguistics;
? linguistic phenomena from code-switching to conversational implicature;
? language varieties from pidgin to standard language.
Each entry begins with a brief definition of the term followed by a more detailed
description. Entries trace the origin of the concept, mention the key associated
individuals, provide a guide to further reading and are extensively crossreferenced.
