Review
"Though some other texts have tried to catch up, none has wooed me away through 20 years and five editions. Finegan has kept his finger on the pulse of linguistic research and presented it in an accessible and lively form for students. The chapter apparatus stimulates critical thinking skills, posing real-world linguistic questions to orient the student to the material in the upcoming chapter."
"Clear explanations, excellent charts, excellent exercises-- All sections are theoretically sophisticated yet approachable for beginning undergraduates."
