This collection of seminal papers and new works by esteemed authorities will stimulate discussion and provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The reader is divided into four parts, each addressing a major area of study in linguistics. Editorial support includes introductions, activities, and discussion points to aid further reading and exploration. A companion website offers additional resources for students, including extra activities, useful weblinks, and advice from the authors. Suitable as a standalone text or companion to Introducing Language in Use (2005), this Reader introduces readers to the wide world of linguistics and applied linguistics, providing a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of language study.
