Abstract:

Designed for those beginning to study linguistics, this is a livelyintroduction to two key aspects of the structure of language: syntax (thestructure of sentences) and morphology (the structure of words). It showsstudents in a step-by-step fashion how to analyze the syntax and morphologyof any language, by clearly describing the basic methods and techniques,and providing almost 100 practical exercises based on data from a richvariety of the world's languages. Written in an engaging style and completewith a comprehensive glossary, Exploring Language Structure explainslinguistic concepts by using clear analogies from everyday life. Itintroduces a range of essential topics in syntax and morphology, such asrules, categories, word classes, grammatical relations, multi-clauseconstructions and typology. Providing a solid foundation in morphology andsyntax, this is the perfect introductory text for beginning students, andwill fully prepare them for more advanced courses in linguistic analysis.
