Linguistics: The Cambridge Survey, Vol. 1 - Frederick J. Newmeyer - Hardcover

Linguistics: The Cambridge Survey is a comprehensive introduction to current research in all branches of the field of linguistics, from syntactic theory to ethnography of speaking, from signed language to the mental lexicon, from language acquisition to discourse analysis. Each chapter has been written by a specialist particularly distinguished in his or her field who has accepted the challenge of reviewing the current issues and future prospects in sufficient depth for the scholar and with sufficient clarity for the student. Each volume can be read independently. 'The contributions are informed, up-to-date and lucid, ... the editor is to be congratulated for the high standards that are maintained throughout. The tremendous intellectual energy and excitement of the field come through strongly.' -- The Times Higher Education SupplementNewmeyer, Frederick J. is the author of 'Linguistics: The Cambridge Survey, Vol. 1 - Frederick J.
