Abstract:
Exploring Linguistic Science introduces students to the basic principles of
complexity theory and then applies these principles to the scientific study of
language. It demonstrates how, at every level of linguistic study, we find
evidence of language as a complex system. Designed for undergraduate courses
in language and linguistics, this essential textbook brings cutting-edge
concepts to bear on the traditional components of general introductions to the
study of language, such as phonetics, morphology and grammar. The authors
maintain a narrative thread throughout the book of 'interaction and
emergence', both of which are key terms from the study of complex systems, a
new science currently useful in physics, genetics, evolutionary biology, and
economics, but also a perfect fit for the humanities. The application of
complexity to language highlights the fact that language is an ever-changing,
ever-varied product of human behavior.
