Linguistics Course for Starters</i><br>

(Third edition)</div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-style: normal">Aimed
at multilingual users of English with no prior background in
language
studies, </span><i>The Language of Language</i> explores the
nature
of language and linguists' agreed-upon ways of talking about the
object of their inquiry. Our focus is on modes of thinking rather
than content coverage, and our goal is to encourage informed and
independent exploration of (why) language matters.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Now in its third edition, at just over
300 pages and priced to make you want to own it, the book is
packed
with over 100 commented activities, examples of language play, and
fun food for thought, designed to whet your appetite for
linguistics
and language studies. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">The companion website at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lang101.com/">http://lang101.com/</a> contains: </p>
