Luckily I hold on to it, because this book is also the textbook for Introduction to Linguistics, which I'm taking this trimester. First Round Term: February-May 2012 Class: Phonetics Professor: Millie Commander Date: Feb 27, 2012 to May 10, 2012 Second Round Term: February-May 2013 Class: Introduction to Linguistics Professor: Millie Commander Date: March 8, 2013 to Present sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, AN INTRODUCTION TO LANGUAGE, Ninth Edition, is appropriate for a variety of fields--including education, languages, psychology, anthropology, English, and teaching English as a Second Language (TESL)--at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. This completely updated edition retains the clear descriptions, humor, and seamless pedagogy that have made the text a perennial best-seller, while adding new information and exercises that render each topic fresh, engaging, and current.

I still am fascinated by language. This book is a great introduction to the fundamental concepts of linguistics. Things like aphasia and child language acquisition are just endlessly fascinating, and this book explained them in a simple and readable manner.
The only part I had trouble with was my most disliked aspect within the subject of linguistics: phonetics. This is not the authors' fault, but to me, phonetics is just sooooo boring. That was why the I took like a year to finish the book - I put it down at that section and procrastinated picking it up again. Once I did however, I finished it quickly, and I'm glad I persevered or else I would have missed the part on computer language!
My copy is from 2002, so I'm sure there are recent updates in the field that I missed. Also, the examples listed of Kiwi slang were pretty weird. Neither me nor any of my friends recognised the term "feather dinks". ( )
