[Corpora-List] Broader linguistic resources

[Isabella.Chiari at uniroma1.it]

I personally like and suggest Introduction to Language, by Fromkin, Rodman, Hyams (Cengage Learning 2011). It is very nice for those
with no prior knowledge and evoques significant issues with examples.

Best regards,
Isabella Chiari
