One of the deficiencies of some books is the neglect of application of the concepts they explain. Being aware of this, the authors have carefully packaged the book to include other theoretical and practical issues. The book has two main parts: the first part is made up of eleven chapters (including the introduction). In this section, topics related to the main levels of linguistic analysis: lexis, phonetics and phonology, semantics, and syntax, are explicated with ample and appropriate illustrates. The second part investigates the link between them. Some of the chapters in this section equally critically examine the borders of linguistics with some neighbouring disciplines. The various chapters are presented in simple but not simplistic language. This style makes the book reader-friendly. A merit of this book is its unambiguous differentiation of seemingly similar concepts. It is clearly an articulate and analytic presentation of language and the roles it plays in human communication. It is a useful and meaningful contribution to scholarship. Students in Universities, polytechnics and Colleges of education will definitely find it a good companion. Contents: Foreword. Preface.
