Essays in Linguistics: Dialectology, Grammar, and Lexicography in Honor of James B. Mcmillan

‘Raymond and Russell have fashioned a lively, useful volume… . The ability and integrity of the contributors make much of the difference, but the editors have given the book direction by soliciting state of the art essays in three fields … dialectology (the articles represent area linguistics at its best), grammar and usage (Algeo on usage shibboleths is particularly fine), and lexicography (a delight).’ - Choice ‘These essays are quietly unassuming in tone but highly useful.’ - Language in Society
