„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)„Much more than a dictionary, this impressive work of judiciousscholarship is virtually a course of instruction in the wide rangeof studies of language. It cannot fail to be of great value toprofessionals, students, and the general interested public.“
--Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
