Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

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 and all the key elements of language. This eighth
edition has been revised and updated throughout, with major changes in the
chapters on Origins, Phonetics, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Discourse
Analysis, First and Second Language Acquisition and Culture. There are forty
new study questions and over sixty new and updated additions to the Further
Readings. To increase student engagement and to foster problem-solving and
critical thinking skills, the book includes over twenty new tasks. The online
resources have been expanded to include test banks, an instructor manual, and
a substantial Study Guide. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use
introduction to the study of language.
