The Language of Language - NEW linguistics textbook and blog

[Madalena Cruz-Ferreira]

/The Language of Language. A Linguistics Course for Starters/
//Madalena Cruz-Ferreira and Sunita Anne Abraham
(Third edition)

Aimed at multilingual users of English with no prior background in 
language studies, /The Language of Language/ explores the nature of 
language and linguists' agreed-upon ways of talking about the object of 
their inquiry. Our focus is on modes of thinking rather than content 
coverage, and our goal is to encourage informed and independent 
exploration of (why) language matters.

Now in its third edition, at just over 300 pages and priced to make you 
want to own it, the book is packed with over 100 commented activities, 
examples of language play, and fun food for thought, designed to whet 
your appetite for linguistics and language studies.

The companion website at http://lang101.com/ contains:

  *

    over 400 additional commented exercises/activities, for self-study
    or for the classroom;

  *

    instructors' resources which include teaching slides, class
    handouts, links to linguistics sites, video/audio files and
    suggestions for class fieldwork projects;

  *

    a blog, dedicated to linguistics for starters.
