Synopsis

Language: The Basics is not a textbook; it does not attempt to provide a comprehensive introduction to the subject. Instead it gently introduces beginning students and general readers to the study of language. Written in an engaging and entertaining style, this book provides an overview of the key topics and an explanation of the basic terms and ideas.
Language: The Basics encourages the reader to think about the way language works and look again at some popular misconceptions about language and what linguists do. An ideal book for all school, college and university students and an essential purchase for anyone who's been accused of splitting an infinitive.
