Abstract:

The thirteenth edition of Language Files has been revised, clarified, and
updated throughout to ensure that it remains the most comprehensive and
accessible introductory linguistics textbook on the market. The revised
chapter on morphology includes a more thorough discussion of allomorphy and
adds sections on templatic morphology, suprasegmental morphology, and
morphological metathesis to give students a more complete picture of all
morphological phenomena. The chapter on language and computers has been
updated with new sections on deep learning, artificial neural networks, and on
other areas of computational linguistics, providing readers with a better
sense of current research and applications in this rapidly developing field.
Other additions include new sections on syntactic non-constituents and
non-generative rule systems in the syntax chapter and a complete rewrite to
the creole languages file in the language contact chapter. We have also
adopted the use of the singular they when referring to a generic person whose
gender is unknown or irrelevant. Exercises and lists of other readings have
been updated throughout.
