Abstract:

An introduction to linguistics, this book acquaints students to the
key areas of linguistics using real-world illustrations. This fully
revised and updated text draws upon students' daily experiences with
linguistic concepts, allowing them to integrate terminology and build
analytical skills as they develop a deeper understanding of how
language facilitates our lives and, collectively, our society.
Features of the third edition include:
- A new chapter exploring language, the brain and the mind
- A new chapter on World Englishes
- Updated and expanded coverage of topics throughout, including animal
communication systems, language and gender and educational linguistics
- New and refreshed online resources offering additional support for
teachers and students.
Equipped with illustrations, diagrams and a wealth of examples of
language in use, this book brings the study of language to life, using
a wide range of materials including text from public signs,
newspapers, magazines, digital platforms, snippets from real-life
conversations as well as dialogue from print, film and television. The
book's companion website provides a host of additional materials to
further assist in the teaching and understanding of linguistics. It
includes suggestions for further reading and a list of questions to
consolidate understanding at each step.
