Description
Understanding language and its role in our world is essential. This second edition of Why Do Linguistics? provides the tools to analyse and discuss language, demonstrating its relevance to our understanding of society. The book explores contemporary areas of interest, such as neo-pronouns, translanguaging, and communication in the digital arena, through new chapters on language and identity, and language and social media. It also features a range of international examples, updated references, suggested readings, tasks for learning, and a glossary of key terms. By introducing practical tools for language analysis, using authentic communicative activity such as overheard conversations, social media posts, advertisements, and public announcements, Why Do Linguistics? offers a social, intercultural, and multilingual perspective on language use.
