Synopsis

At the forefront of the field of linguistics, David Crystal has contributed significantly to its development, pioneering many new areas from clinical to internet linguistics. Now, after a long and hugely successful career, David offers us a special look behind the curtains at the adventures, challenges and pitfalls of his life in linguistics. A cross between an autobiography and an introduction to the field of linguistics, Just a Phrase I'm Going Through answers the question Crystal is most frequently asked these days: 'How did you become a linguist?' The response takes the reader on an exciting journey through the field of linguistics through the eyes of this well-known and popular Professor.
