All of the following may be of potential interest. Each of them is primarily functionalist in their orientation.

Subject: [Lingtyp] popular non-generative book

Dear colleagues,

I wonder if anyone knows (a) well-written popular book(s) presenting a general introduction in linguistics from a non-generativist viewpoint. Something like Pinker's books, but from the opposite camp. Needed for an introductory course in linguistic diversity and general linguistics for students outside linguistics.

Best,
Vladimir Panov
