‘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 linguistics.
Bauer does what few linguists are able to do well: write in a down-toearth
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 information
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 linguistics
with all the things that the instructor doesn’t quite get round to.’
