Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Here is the book description: Linguistics: Foundations, Branches, Methods, and Modern DirectionsLanguage is the most distinctly human of all our capacities - and yet, for most of us, it remains invisible. We speak, listen, read, and write without pausing to wonder how any of it works. This book pauses. It asks the questions that linguists have spent centuries trying to answer: What is language? How does it work at every level, from the smallest sounds to the structure of entire conversations? How is it acquired, processed, stored in the brain, shaped by society, and transformed across time? And what does the rapid rise of artificial intelligence mean for our understanding of language itself?Linguistics: Foundations, Branches, Methods, and Modern Directions is a comprehensive introduction to the scientific study of language, written for students, educators, and curious readers who want to understand one of the most complex phenomena in the natural world. Beginning with the philosophical and historical roots of the discipline, the book moves through every major branch of linguistics - phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and beyond - before expanding outward into the applied, cognitive, social, and interdisciplinary dimensions of language study.Each chapter builds on the last, tracing the development of linguistic thought from the ancient grammarians of India, Greece, and the Arabic world, through the structuralists and generativists of the twentieth century, to the usage-based, corpus-driven, and cognitively oriented approaches that define the field today. Cutting-edge topics are treated with the same rigour as foundational ones: readers will find substantive discussions of large language models and their implications for linguistic theory, the role of natural language processing in endangered language revitalisation, critical discourse analysis, neurolinguistics, and the ongoing debates that make linguistics one of the most dynamic areas of contemporary scholarship.Written with clarity and intellectual ambition, this book is for anyone who has ever paused mid-sentence and wondered how language works.
