Introduction to Linguistics from a Global Perspective
An Alternative Approach to Language and Languages

Joachim Grzega
University of Eichstaett

How do languages work? 10 chapters introduce to all major aspects of language
and models from theoretical to applied linguistics in an alternative way.
Respecting an international university policy for beginner's courses, this
book offers an interactive approach even for large, international and
interdisciplinary groups, with majors in linguistics, language teaching,
European studies, intercultural communication, journalism, psychology,
computer science, lexicography, arts, and marketing. 
The book connects linguistics to various fields. It enables readers to develop
linguistic expertise by first presenting problems for reflection, then
answering them in everyday language and finally using linguistic terminology,
with examples from English and other languages. Students can acquire knowledge
with the book “interactively”, at their own pace. Each chapter includes
anecdotes, “linguistic learning lyricisms” for difficult terms, a checklist of
terms, wrap-up riddles, and a further reading section. Preliminary remarks
tell readers how to best benefit from the book. Instructors are relieved from
finding the right pace and method for each new learner group. Consequently,
classroom meetings can be used to just revise the core knowledge and then
apply it to concrete problems from various fields. Instructors are given
advice for an effective use of the book and offered several activities for
each chapter. Thus, the book becomes a Do-It-Yourself-Then-Do-It-in-Class
book. 

The author, Joachim Grzega, is professor of linguistics and has specialized in
Eurolinguistics, language teaching, intercultural communication,
expert-layperson communication, and communicative teaching methods.
