Abstract:
'Christopher Hall's book is the best new introduction to linguistics that I
have seen in decades. It is engagingly written without talking down to the
reader and it covers all the subparts of the field in a comprehensive and
even-handed manner. I plan to use it the next time that I teach an
introductory course at Washington.' Professor Frederick J. Newmeyer,
University of Washington
'With apt examples from novels and newspapers, courtroom trials and
telephone conversations, the lowly and the mighty, his book repeatedly
startles as it casts light on language. This is a bright, humorous, and
completely accessible tour of 21st-century linguistics.' Professor Edward
Finegan, University of Southern California
This book introduces the fundamentals of human language from a linguistic
point of view, using examples drawn from everyday life to aid
comprehension, and encouraging critical thinking throughout. Besides
presenting the fundamental building blocks of language and explaining how
these function, the book also introduces other key elements of the
discipline of linguistics, including language acquisition, applied
linguistics, psycholinguistics and discourse analysis.
Packed full of examples, this is the ideal introduction to language for
those who are interested in studying linguistics, have already started a
course, or just want to study at home.
Christopher J. Hall is Professor of Applied Linguistics at the Universidad
de las Americas, Puebla, Mexico.
