This second edition of The Cambridge Encyclopedia
of Language presents a mass of new information
and introduces the subject of language to a fresh
generation of students and general readers. The first
edition of the book is probably the most successful
general study of language ever published. This
second edition extends the range of coverage to
include advances in areas like machine translation,
speech interaction with machines, and language
teaching. There is new material on acoustics,
physiological concepts of language, and World
English, and a complete update of the language
distribution maps, language-speaking statistics, a
table of the world`s languages, and further reading.
All geopolitical material has been revised to take
account of boundary changes. The book has been
redesigned and is presented for the first time in full
colour, with new pictures and maps added.
