Abstract:

Are you curious to know what all languages have in common and how they
differ? Do you want to find out how language can be used to trace
different peoples and their past? Now in its fourth edition, this
fascinating book guides beginners through the rich diversity of the
world's languages. It presupposes no background in linguistics, and
introduces key concepts with the help of problem sets, end-of-chapter
exercises and an extensive bibliography. It is illustrated with
detailed maps and charts of language families throughout, and engaging
sidebars and 'food for thought' boxes contextualise and bring the
languages to life with demographic, social, historical, and
geographical facts. This edition has been extensively updated with a
new section on the languages of the Caribbean, new problem sets, and
an updated glossary and index. Supplementary online materials includes
links to all websites mentioned, and answers to the exercises for
instructors.
