Açıklama
"An Introduction to Language is the ideal text for students at all levels and in many different areas of instruction, including linguistics, English, education, foreign languages, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). Continuing the authors' tradition of making each edition the most current, complete, and informative on the market, this Eighth Edition reflects the best and most recent research in all areas of linguistics while retaining its signature student-friendly style." "Key Features to this Eighth Edition include: Extensive updates to every chapter, including: a new section on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, new information on neurolinguistics, extensive new material on bilingualism and teaching a second language, a thoroughly updated treatment of syntax, a completely rewritten chapter on semantics and pragmatics that reflects modern thinking, a revised chapter on sociolinguistics that emphasizes recent findings, and a greatly expanded section on syntactic change. Up-to-date descriptions of the major components of language (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics)-all discussed at a current, yet introductory, level. Information about American Sign Language and other sign languages woven throughout the text, helping readers appreciate them as bona fide languages with many of the same characteristics as spoken languages. Usage of IPA symbols throughout the text. A summary of important material at the end of each chapter, as well as a comprehensive list of references, suggestions for further reading, and exercises. The most extensive and concisely written glossary of terms of any introductory text, as well as a thorough index that makes it easy to navigate the book. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET
