Abstract:
Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.
This bestselling textbook provides an engaging and user-friendly introduction
to the study of language. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, Yule
presents information in bite-sized sections, clearly explaining the major
concepts in linguistics through all the key elements of language. This sixth
edition has been revised and updated throughout, with substantial changes made
to the chapters on phonetics, grammar and syntax, and eighty new study
questions. To increase student engagement and to foster problem-solving and
critical thinking skills, the book also includes twenty new tasks. An expanded
and revised online study guide provides students with further resources,
including answers and tutorials for all tasks, while encouraging lively and
proactive learning. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use introduction
to the study of language.
