The "Encyclopaedic Dictionary of the Sciences of Language" is a wide-ranging and thorough study of language and its functions. Eminent French theorists Oswald Ducrot and Tzvetan Todorov cover such major trends in the development of modern linguistics as general grammars and Saussurianism, as well as methodological and descriptive concepts. Combining the breadth of a dictionary (800 terms are listed in an alphabetical index) with the depth of an encyclopaedia (50 articles provide sustained discussions of specific topics), this is a definitive reference for the study of linguistics, semiotics, poetics and literary theory. Todorov is also author of "The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre".

Recensione

"The attempted coverage is nothing if not panoramic: linguists from Panini through to Chomsky, fields from language pathology to literary theory, concepts from generative rules to fictional viewpoint." -- Times Literary Supplement

"All of [the] articles are well-informed and useful and many... are models of lucidity and acumen... Porter's translation is stylish, accurate, and highly readable." -- MLN
