[Corpora-List] Broader linguistic resources

[Dominic P Rout]

Hello all

I was recently discussing the work of Steven Pinker with a colleague,
and we talked about how one thing lacked by many PhD students in NLP
is a broader understanding of language, outside of their chosen field.

It was suggested that I ask this list the following question:

What are some useful, broad and accessible overview books about
language (specifically in English) that might be useful to a student
of NLP wishing to broaden their horizons?

Does anyone have any answers, or starting points?

Thanks
