粵語是極具寫作潛力的方言，今天在香港仍然非常活躍的粵語寫作，在晚清時已經有值得注意的成就。
《清末民初的粵語書寫》以五個生動別致的個案，輔以大量罕見的報刊和歷史文獻，立體地呈現當時粵語寫作的面貌。本書以廣闊的視野和客觀的態度，給予這些作品深入、適當的分析和評價。其中作者如梁啟超、黃世仲，雖為人熟悉，但他們對粵語寫作的貢獻卻鮮為人知；而鄭貫公、廖恩燾、陳子褒等，雖然在粵語寫作或母語教育方面有極重要的地位，卻很少引起研究者的注意，所以本書正好彌補了這個學術遺憾。
追溯晚清時期香港的方言文學生產和寫作活動，可以讓我們更了解香港文學的前世今生。由此可見，香港粵語創作，以至香港文學的發生，其實可以推前至清末民初時期。

'Language attrition' describes the loss of, or changes to, grammatical and other features of a language as a result of declining use by speakers who have changed their linguistic environment and language habits. In such a situation there may, for example, be simplification in the tense system or in certain properties of subordinate clauses; some vocabulary items might fall into disuse and phonetic features may be restructured. These changes can be affected by features of the speaker's environment, but also by his or her attitudes and processes of identification. This book provides a detailed and up-to-date introduction to the way in which language attrition can affect language, as well as to the extra- and sociolinguistic features involved. It also familiarizes the reader with experimental approaches to attrition and data analysis techniques and provides hands-on guidelines on how to apply them.

本书稿分三大部分：第一部分介绍和评述西方历史语言学研究音变的历史和理论方法，其中对经典的历史比较法运作过程作了详细的阐述，籍此来指出比较法的得失。第二部分是本书的重心。作者根据汉语方言演变的特点提出一中心多层次的汉语方言演变观，并提出与此演变相配的历史层次分析法，最后分三个过程来全面阐述历史层次分析的方法。第三部分运用历史层次分析法来研究分析吴闽赣徽方言语音层次。

《十九世纪欧洲语言学史》详尽地介绍了西方比较语言学的兴起和发展，对于近代欧洲语言科学的发展、方法和成果做了综合的叙述介绍了欧洲古典时代、中世纪以及16，17，18世纪的语言学的演进，叙述了印欧语系各个语支以及世界各个语系的研究情形，并从碑铭与考古的发现情况对文字史进行了探讨，最后还讨论了比较语言学的方法论及其演进过程。作者严谨的科学态度，受到学界的赞许，文笔流畅生动，被中国语言学家朱德熙先生誉为“最好的一本介绍历史比较方法的书”。

威廉·汤姆逊（Ludvig Peter Vilhelm Thomsen.1842—1927）的《十九世纪末以前的语言学史》堪称西方第一部语言学通史，它连贯而系统地评述了十九世纪末以前的欧洲学者研究语言学的发展阶段和历史，并且对欧洲早期的那些语言学家和他们的著作作了学术评述。书后附录了俄译者拉?绍尔的文章“从文艺复兴时期到十九世纪末的语言学说史梗概”，对中世纪以后各种语言学说的哲学基础和方法论作了充分的评介。该书是一部极具参考价值的语言学史著作。

《欧美语言学简史》(修订本)是根据近几年来作者在复旦大学中文系汉语专业和现代汉语助教班讲授欧美语言学史的讲稿整理而成的。“欧美语言学史”实际上是一门学习语言学的入门课程，主要介绍欧美语言学的发展历程，对在历史上有重大影响的语言学派和语言学家的理论和研究方法进行述评，目的在于使学生在进行深入研究之前，能在理论和背景知识方面有所准备。

《历史语言学》在写作过程中与叶蜚声、王福堂、王洪君三位同志多有讨论，他们都贡献了不少很好的意见；林焘先生为《历史语言学》绘制了北京话区域分布图，蒋绍愚同志为语言年代学的百词表作了古今汉语的异同对比，这些都使《历史语言学》增色不少。《历史语言学》初稿于1985年初写成后，蒙华中理工大学严学宭先生详为评阅，赐教多处，使作者得益匪浅；他还指导当时的研究生张振江同志对初稿进行逐节的推敲，提出了很多宝贵的意见。

语义外在论是心灵哲学和语言哲学中最受关注也是最困难的主题之一，对我们理解社会制度和物理环境对语言和心灵的影响具有非常重要的意义。本书首先深入介绍了描述主义和指称主义的各种理论版本，尤其是对弗雷格和克里普克的相关理论做了重点的考察，随后讨论了语义外在论在研究索引性思想、认识论的怀疑论、自我知识和心灵因果关系等重大论题中的核心作用，书中对普特南的“孪生地球”论证、伯奇的“关节炎”论证和戴维森的“沼泽人”论证等著名的论证做了精彩的分析。本书内容丰富，介绍和探讨了大量名家关于语义外在论的文献，对该主题的研究提供了一份极其宝贵的“地图”.

这本文集共收文章四十四篇，包括有关汉语文字音韵训诂三方面的论文、札记和书籍的序跋。其中有一部分曾在一九五七年编为汉语音韵文集，这些文章，以在一九三四年至一九四九年之间所写的居多。有些是关于书籍或资料的考证和校订，有些是问题的探讨，有些是对前人著述的评论。大抵从考察和分析材料入手，进而论述材料所反映的语言现象，以供学者参考。

Japanese has a term that covers both green and blue. Russian has separate terms for dark and light blue. Does this mean that Russians perceive these colors differently from Japanese people? Does language control and limit the way we think? This short, opinionated book addresses the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which argues that the language we speak shapes the way we perceive the world. Linguist John McWhorter argues that while this idea is mesmerizing, it is plainly wrong. It is language that reflects culture and worldview, not the other way around. The fact that a language has only one word for eat, drink, and smoke doesn't mean its speakers don't process the difference between food and beverage, and those who use the same word for blue and green perceive those two colors just as vividly as others do. McWhorter shows not only how the idea of language as a lens fails but also why we want so badly to believe it: we're eager to celebrate diversity by acknowledging the intelligence of peoples who may not think like we do. Though well-intentioned, our belief in this idea poses an obstacle to a better understanding of human nature and even trivializes the people we seek to celebrate. The reality - that all humans think alike - provides another, better way for us to acknowledge the intelligence of all peoples.

Language is mankind's greatest invention-except, of course, that it was never invented." So begins linguist Guy Deutscher's enthralling investigation into the genesis and evolution of language. If we started off with rudimentary utterances on the level of "man throw spear," how did we end up with sophisticated grammars, enormous vocabularies, and intricately nuanced degrees of meaning?
Drawing on recent groundbreaking discoveries in modern linguistics, Deutscher exposes the elusive forces of creation at work in human communication, giving us fresh insight into how language emerges, evolves, and decays. He traces the evolution of linguistic complexity from an early "Me Tarzan" stage to such elaborate single-word constructions as the Turkish sehirlilestiremediklerimizdensiniz ("you are one of those whom we couldn't turn into a town dweller"). Arguing that destruction and creation in language are intimately entwined, Deutscher shows how these processes are continuously in operation, generating new words, new structures, and new meanings.
As entertaining as it is erudite, The Unfolding of Language moves nimbly from ancient Babylonian to American idiom, from the central role of metaphor to the staggering triumph of design that is the Semitic verb, to tell the dramatic story and explain the genius behind a uniquely human faculty.

孙诒让的二十余种著作，以《周礼正义》、《墨子间诂》、《札迻》、《古籀拾遗》、《契文举例》、《名原》、《温州经籍志》、《籀庼述林》尤负盛名。
札迻十二卷，是孙诒让第一部问世之作，成于清光绪十九年（一八九三年）。全书校勘订正了秦、汉至齐、梁间七十八种古书中的讹误衍脱千余条，是他三十多年研读古书心得的集录。“凡所考论，虽复简丝数米，或涉琐屑，于作述闳恉，未窥百一，然匡违芮佚，必有谊据，无以孤证肊说，贸乱古书之直”，是他遵循的基本原则。俞樾曾给以高度评价，说他“精孰训诂，通达假借，援据古籍以补正讹夺，根柢参考，而且对了解清代朴学及其研究方法，提高研读和整理古书的能力，亦可得到有益的启示。
《札迻》一书，系孙诒让把自己三十年来阅读周秦汉魏以迄齐梁的七十八种古籍所作的笔记，与他家见解互相参证，害以校勘文字，诠释疑义，订正讹误的校雠学名著。其考释精审，学者交誉。
