The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language by David Crystal is a comprehensive reference work that examines the multifaceted nature of human language. The third edition, published in 2010, has been thoroughly revised to reflect significant developments in linguistics since the mid-1990s, including modern electronic communication such as email, texting, and social media, as well as the ongoing crisis of language endangerment affecting many of the world’s languages. It also incorporates technological advancements in phonetics, language disability, and computing, updated maps and statistics reflecting new countries and linguistic data, and a fully redesigned layout with numerous new illustrations. This encyclopedia provides an invaluable resource for linguists, students, and anyone interested in language, offering clear insights into its structure, history, and societal impact.
