Abstract:

This bestselling textbook provides an engaging and user-friendly introduction
to the study of language. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, Yule
presents information in bite-sized sections, clearly explaining the major
concepts in linguistics and all the key elements of language. This seventh
edition has been revised and updated throughout, with substantial changes to
the chapters on phonetics and semantics, and forty new study questions. To
increase student engagement and to foster problem-solving and critical
thinking skills, the book includes over twenty new tasks. An expanded and
revised online study guide provides students with further resources, including
answers and tutorials for all tasks, while encouraging lively and proactive
learning. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use introduction to the
study of language.
