The Linguistics Student’s Handbook

‘Laurie Bauer’s Handbook is a truly unique, as well as a wonderfully original

resource for students coming to grips with the ins and outs of modern linguis-

tics. Bauer does what few linguists are able to do well: write in a down-to-

earth way about the subject matter. The Handbook is not just about linguistics

and its leading ideas, however. It is brimming with all kinds of useful informa-

tion to help students understand the very practical side of doing linguistics,

such as how to spell diphthong , gloss examples, write assignments in linguistics,

and make sense of linguistic notation. The Handbook helps the student of lin-

guistics with all the things that the instructor doesn’t quite get round to.’
