LINGUISTICS FOR BEGINNERS is the first book to ever make the arcane labors of linguistics accessible to general readers. It begins with a lucid definition of language and proceeds to examine how it becomes the subject matter of linguistics. Key topics include the contrast between writing and speech, and elementary lessons in analyses ranging from simple sounds to entire sentences. Absurd fictions such as Eskimos having hundreds of words for snow are exploded, and the borderlands between linguistics and philosophy are investigated. LINGUISTICS FOR BEGINNERS teaches concise lessons using wit and whimsy making for a memorable learning experience. The reader will learn about language acquisition, ancient languages, little-known languages, tonal and whistle languages, linguistic engineering, structuralism, language origins, the anthropological approach to linguistics, kinship semantics, color lexicons, geographical linguistics, and much more! LINGUISTICS FOR BEGINNERS is the key tool for linguistic students of any level.

Цитаты

  • Rubiyati Rubiyatiцитирует7 лет назад
    In linguistics, it means the study of the smallest forms that carry meaning. These forms are called morphemes.
  • Rubiyati Rubiyatiцитирует7 лет назад
    We write English in what is called a phonetic alphabet. This means that the letters of the alphabet stand for sounds, the most basic elements of language that linguists study.
  • Rubiyati Rubiyatiцитирует7 лет назад
    Linguists pay more attention to skeletons than to skin; they spend more time studying the sounds of speech and sound systems than words on the page.
