This bestselling textbook provides an engaging and user-friendly introduction to the study of language. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, Yule presents information in bite-sized sections, clearly explaining the major concepts in linguistics through all the key elements of language. This sixth edition has been revised and updated throughout, with substantial changes made to the chapters on phonetics, grammar and syntax, and eighty new study questions. To increase student engagement and to foster problem-solving and critical thinking skills, the book also includes twenty new tasks. An expanded and revised online study guide provides students with further resources, including answers and tutorials for all tasks, while encouraging lively and proactive learning. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use introduction to the study of language.

Una introducción sumamente accesible, si bien básica, a la ciencia del lenguaje. Si estudias letras u otra carrera afín, este libro es, todavía, uno de los mejore materiales que puedes encontrar en el mercado.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good condition, good introductory book
Reviewed in India on 18 September 2021
Verified Purchase
I used this book as a primer to the field of linguistics. I feel like this book does a veery good job at just that : introducing a variety of linguistic fields to the uninitiated. There are also helpful exercises to test knowledge and find additional reading material for more in-depth discussion. I particularly like the simple examples that are used without too much technical jargon. Overall, a good find.

Also, George Yule was educated at Edinburgh which is quite known for its linguistics affiliations. So that's good.
