Abstract:

This book provides a non-technical introduction to the study of language.The core areas of language study are approached by focusing on questionssuch as: Where does language come from? Why don't we all talk the same? Whoneeds grammar? Pitched at a level which is suitable for students with noexperience of linguistics, this lively introduction to language approacheswill encourage students to think.
