Description

Aitchison's Linguistics provides a straightforward introduction to linguistics, exploring two fundamental questions: what is language and how does it work? This accessible book outlines the scope of linguistics, explaining basic concepts and essential terminology with examples drawn mainly from English.

It covers sound patterning, syntax, and meaning, as well as rapidly growing areas such as pragmatics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and stylistics. The book features innovative exercises to illustrate key principles and help you apply your knowledge.

With its easy-to-read design and interactive features, including one, five, and ten-minute introductions to key principles, author insights, tests, and online articles, Aitchison's Linguistics is an ideal resource for broadening your understanding of the subtleties and power of language.
