Written by David Hornsby, who is a current
Linguistics lecturer and researcher at the University of
Kent, Linguistics - The Essentials is designed to give
you everything you need to succeed, all in one place. It
covers the key areas that students are expected to be
confident in, outlining the basics in clear jargon-free
English, and then providing added value features like
summaries of key books, and even lists of questions you
might be asked in your seminar or exam. The book uses a
structure that mirrors many university courses on
linguistics - with separate chapters focusing on
linguistic thought, syntax, sound systems, morphology,
semantics, pragmatics, language acquisition, and much
more. |
