I am using the book as a student in a 600 level Linguistics course. I've never been introduced to Linguistics before, and I find this very clear, concise, and readable. Carnie uses clear and lively examples, and the practice sets are extremely helpful in determining whether I'm grasping concepts. At the end of each chapter there is a summary that contains a glossary of the main ideas and terms in each chapter, and that's been great as a study tool.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this text, and would recommend it to other students.

ただ、全部英語で書かれている(当たり前ですが)ので、それなりの覚悟は必要です。「いきなり洋書はきつい!」という方は、渡辺明『生成文法』(東京大学出版会)を読んでから、本書を読むと、とてもよく理解できます。
