Description
This fourth edition of Languages of the World: An Introduction explores the rich diversity of languages and their connections to people and places. With no prior knowledge of linguistics required, the book guides beginners through its pages using problem sets, exercises, and an extensive bibliography.
Illustrated with detailed maps and charts, as well as engaging sidebars and 'food for thought' boxes, this edition brings languages to life with demographic, social, historical, and geographical facts. The updated content includes a new section on the languages of the Caribbean, new problem sets, and an updated glossary and index.
