Description
Introducing Linguistics brings together leading scholars to create an accessible and wide-ranging introductory textbook for newcomers to linguistics. This comprehensive guide covers five key areas: language structures, mind and society, applications, methods, and issues. The textbook presents the latest research in an engaging way, incorporating examples from a diverse range of languages, including isiZulu and Washo. Sign language is treated as another language, rather than a special case, adding to the book's breadth and depth. With recommended readings and resource materials, this textbook goes beyond description and theory, focusing on application and methodology. Ideal for undergraduate students of linguistics, Introducing Linguistics provides an ideal introduction to the field, drawing on the authors' research and classroom experience.
