Description
Linguistics: An Introduction by William McGregor is a comprehensive guide to understanding language and linguistics. This third edition covers key topics in the field, tracing their development and discussing recent trends, with examples from diverse languages and contexts worldwide. The book assumes no prior knowledge of linguistics and features pedagogic tools, including key terms, discussion questions, and exercises, to support learning. New chapters include a focus on corpus linguistics, theories of syntax, text typology, and the evolution of languages, while updated examples reflect global perspectives and contexts. A companion website offers additional resources, including online instructor guides, lecture slides, reading materials, videos, and an answer key, making this book an ideal introduction to the study of linguistics.
