Purchase options and add-ons

This accessible textbook is the only introduction to linguistics in which each chapter is written by an expert who teaches courses on that topic, ensuring balanced and uniformly excellent coverage of the full range of modern linguistics. Assuming no prior knowledge the text offers a clear introduction to the traditional topics of structural linguistics (theories of sound, form, meaning, and language change), and in addition provides full coverage of contextual linguistics, including separate chapters on discourse, dialect variation, language and culture, and the politics of language. There are also up-to-date separate chapters on language and the brain, computational linguistics, writing, child language acquisition, and second-language learning. The breadth of the textbook makes it ideal for introductory courses on language and linguistics offered by departments of English, sociology, anthropology, and communications, as well as by linguistics departments.

Product description

Review

'Fasold and Connor-Linton have created a very solid textbook by drawing on acknowledged experts in their own particular fields, a wise precaution perhaps when offering an approach to an entire subject and all the variety and contrasts that this now entails. The book could quite easily be used as a standard course text…' Times Higher Education Supplement '
