Abstract:

This book is written as a sequel to Sampson's textbook "Schools of
Linguistics", which has been translated into several foreign
languages.

Since the publication of that book, the internet and cheap air travel
have globalized scholarship.  Consequently, developments in
linguistics no longer happen in geographically-separate "schools",
such as the Prague School or the London School of the twentieth
century.  Instead, the state of play in linguistics today is best
portrayed through a sampler illustrating the diversity of new
developments.  "Structural Linguistics in the 21st Century" offers
such a sampler, describing two dozen of the most promising advances in
the subject to have emerged in recent years; and it includes a few
chapters looking back at how the approaches discussed in "Schools of
Linguistics" panned out at the end of the old century, before they
evolved into — or made way for — today's more realistic and more
diverse linguistics.

A particularly attractive feature of 21st-century linguistics is its
growing willingness to forge links with other disciplines.  Sampson's
book illustrates relationships that have arisen recently between
linguistics and subjects as diverse as anthropology, genomics,
psychology, politics, and others.

Written in Sampson's usual down-to-earth and readable style,
"Structural Linguistics in the 21st Century" is straightforwardly
accessible to any student taking a linguistics course.
