Reviews
Due to the wide variety of disciplines represented and the encyclopaedic nature of the entries, the book will be of interest not only to students and scholars from many different backgrounds, but also to the general reader. Year's Work in English Studies ! the volume is of good quality, a valuable endeavour for bringing together linguistics and the philosophy of language. I find the volume very useful, quite easy to consult and use in teaching and research, especially valuable for under and postgraduates and I really believe that it filled a gap when this was really needed. -- Anca Gata LINGUIST list Due to the wide variety of disciplines represented and the encyclopaedic nature of the entries, the book will be of interest not only to students and scholars from many different backgrounds, but also to the general reader. ! the volume is of good quality, a valuable endeavour for bringing together linguistics and the philosophy of language.
