Sinopsis

Understanding Language is the second edition of this introduction to linguistics aimed at all students who are new to the subject. The book is comprehensive in its coverage of the key areas of linguistics, yet explains these in an easy to understand, jargon-free way.

Topics covered include:

language acquisition
speech sounds
the make-up of words

meaning
communication
the history of English
language variation and change
