Abstract:

Dear Colleagues,

Sunita Anne Abraham and I are happy to announce the publication of the third 
resource in our 'Linguistics for Starters' suite, geared to multilingual users of 
English.

Last year, we introduced our textbook, 'The Language of Language: A 
Linguistics Course for Starters', and our 'Lang101' website, complete with a 
blog.

This year, 'Lang101 Workbook' offers 460 commented exercises and 
activities, dedicated to absolute beginners to the study of language.

We designed the workbook as a companion resource to our textbook, in 
response to feedback asking us to expand the textbook's over 100 exercises 
and activities.

Part 1 of the workbook contains 360 exercises corresponding to the twelve 
chapters of the textbook (30 per chapter), followed by 100 cross-chapter 
exercises, aimed at synthesis alongside analysis. Part 2 contains 
commented answers to all exercises.

Topics include the nature of scientific investigation; the structure of words, 
sounds and sentences; typical vs. disordered uses of language; child 
language, language learning and language play, as well as politeness, 
persuasion and humour.

The companion website, 'Lang101', contains more activities for self-study or 
for the classroom, instructors' resources which include teaching slides and 
class handouts, and a blog dedicated to linguistics for starters. Visit 
http://lang101.com/

The workbook can be browsed at http://www.amazon.com/dp/1475057369, 
and the book flyer is available from http://beingmultilingual.com/Books.html

With all good wishes
