Description
Concise Encyclopedia of Languages of the World is an authoritative single-volume reference resource comprehensively describing
the major languages and language families of the world.
It will provide full descriptions of the phonology, semantics, morphology,
and syntax of the world's major languages, giving insights into their structure, history and development, sounds, meaning, structure,
and language family, thereby both highlighting their diversity for comparative study, and contextualizing them according to their genetic
relationships and regional distribution.
Based on the highly acclaimed and award-winning Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics,
this volume will provide an edited collection of almost 400 articles throughout which a representative subset of the world's major languages
are unfolded and explained in up-to-date terminology and authoritative interpretation, by the leading scholars in linguistics.
In highlighting
the diversity of the world's languages – from the thriving to the endangered and extinct – this work will be the first point of call
to any language expert interested in this huge area. No other single volume will match the extent of language coverage or the authority
of the contributors of Concise Encyclopedia of Languages of the World.
Audience
The content of this reference work is foundational to most topics in descriptive and comparative linguistics. It will therefore be an
indispensable resource for all students and faculty staff across the whole linguistics field.
