================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

We are a Modern Languages Department with a small linguistics component,
mostly taught in Spanish about Spanish. We would like to design an
introductory linguistics course to be taught in English, as part of a
European Languages major, that could be used for students of Spanish,
French, Italian and German who have little or no knowledge of linguistics.
We are seeking suggestions for an accessible introduction to linguistics
text book, that uses  data from European languages. 

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
