Abstract:

Thinking About Language considers the ideas and theories underpinninglanguage study. It encourages students to begin thinking about ways ofseeing language and introduces past debates and current disputes on the waythat human language works. The book offers a balance between theory andapplication and provides an interesting and accessible introduction to thehistory of linguistic theory, the variety of different theoreticalapproaches to language study and to the current state of the subject.

'The goal of this volume is to provide an introduction to a number ofconceptual and philosophical issues surrounding the nature and study oflanguage. The book is wonderfully clear and engaging, and deserves a placein every undergraduate curriculum.' - Geoffrey Poole, School of EnglishLiterature, Language and Linguistics, University of Newcastle, UK
