Best edition. A very nice bright copy in original unclipped dust-wrapper. Third edition (with an Appendix on the history and meaning of the term "phoneme"). Dust-wrapper a little darkened at spine. Used; Very Good By Daniel Jones the celebrated linguist and phonetician. First published in 1950 but started in 1937, this work brings together Jones' earlier ideas on the nature of the phoneme and the importance of appropriate transcription.
