/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p> How do languages work? 10
chapters introduce to all major aspects of language and models from
theoretical to applied linguistics in an alternative way. Respecting
an international university policy for beginner’s courses, this book
offers an interactive approach even for large, international and
interdisciplinary groups, with majors in linguistics, language
teaching, European studies, intercultural communication, journalism,
psychology, computer science, lexicography, arts, and marketing. The
book connects linguistics to various fields. It enables readers to
develop linguistic expertise by first presenting problems for
reflection, then answering them in everyday language and finally using
linguistic terminology, with examples from English and other
languages. Students can acquire knowledge with the book
“interactively”, at their own pace. <br /><br />Each chapter
includes anecdotes, “linguistic learning lyricisms” for difficult
terms, a checklist of terms, wrap-up riddles, and a further reading
section. Preliminary remarks tell readers how to best benefit from the
book. Instructors are relieved from finding the right pace and method
for each new learner group. Consequently, classroom meetings can be
used to just revise the core knowledge and then apply it to concrete
problems from various fields. Instructors are given advice for an
effective use of the book and offered several activities for each
chapter. Thus, the book becomes a Do-It-Yourself-Then-Do-It-in-Class
book. <br /><br />The author, Joachim Grzega, is professor of
linguistics and has specialized in Eurolinguistics, language teaching,
intercultural communication, expert-layperson communication, and
communicative teaching methods.</p><br /><b>Temática:</b> Fonología,
