Popular items for the new school year

As a new school year begins, here's a roundup of several popular Cascadilla Press items for students and professors.

Surviving Linguistics: A Guide for Graduate Students is now on its 6th printing in just over a year! This helpful guide is making life easier for linguistics students everywhere.

Our syntax font Arboreal is a great way to create syntactic trees, and works with the latest MacOS 10.4 and Windows Vista operating systems, as well as with older Mac and Windows systems. Arboreal for Windows (ArborWin) and Arboreal for Mac have some differences, so make sure you let us know whether you need the Windows or Mac version when you order.

For those teaching the IPA, we offer IPA Bingo for large classes and Magnetic Phonetics 2 for small groups. We also offer sets of convenient IPA reference cards you can hand out to your students, where each card shows the entire current IPA chart. And what room is truly well-adorned without an office-sized (14" x 20") or classroom-sized (23" x 35") IPA chart poster?
