The New Testament of the Linguistics Bibel Mai 31, 2003

As a student of the UWB where Dr Crystal is honorary professor, I think I can speak of all of the students of the Linguistics Department that the author of this book is considered as the G_d among linguists. Consider this book as the New Testament.
The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language März 18, 2003

Diese Enzyklopaedie umfasst alle erdenklichen Inhalte der englischen Sprachwissenschaft, angefangen von the History of English, Phonetics,Lexical structure, Varieties of English, Dictionaries etc.
Dieses Buch hebt sich trotz der Informationsfuelle wohltuend von der Standardliteratur der englischen Sprachwissenschaft ab, denn die Kapitel werden durch durch zahlreiche farbige historische Dokumente, Fotos und praktische Beispiele illustriert.
Dieser "Schinken" mit seinen fast 500 (A4) Seiten stellt fuer mich ein ueberaus gelungenes Werk dar, das auch alle noetigen Grundlagen fuer eine Pruefungsvorbereitung enthalten duerfte.

This is essentially a "twofer" review - everything I say about this book also applies to Crystal's "Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language."I fell in love with language long ago, so pounced on this book when it first appeared on my horizon several years ago. Since then, I have learned to keep it close by - it migrates from the coffee table to my night table to the bathroom to the breakfast table - I need it handy. I refer to it constantly, and often find myself opening it at random and immediately being hooked by whatever subject comes up. It's a tremendous compendium of easily accessible information on all aspects of the English language, and there are nuggets of value throughout. It is well-written in a lively, non-pedantic style, and has plenty of illustrations to reinforce understanding and make it more interesting. It's appropriate for most ages except very young children, and is a terrific way to introduce anyone to the wonders and mysteries of our language. The same remarks hold true for Crystal's "Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language." That work is presented in the same way, but with much a broader scope - it covers all aspects of human language. I like to browse in it and then get greater detail from the English Language book - they work very well together. I'm in awe of Crystal's ability to present such huge subjects so coherently and in such a comprehensive and fascinating way. I strongly recommend both books, for you or for anyone you care about.
A must have for any Linguist! März 16, 1999

As a graduate student in Linguistics, this book is a true gem. Especially wonderful is the history of every letter of the English alphabet
Highly recommendable März 16, 1999

For anyone studying English, or simply interested in the language, this book is highly recommended. It's full of detailed information, but also plenty of pictures and examples, so it's easier to work with than your average dry textbook.
