About the Author
Leonard Bloomfield, an American professor of Germanic languages, created the field of linguistics as a branch of science. In studying such non-Western languages as Tagalog, spoken in the Philippines, he realized the futility of trying to fit all languages into the format of Latin grammar in the common practice in his time. Bloomfield went on to discover the principles of language itself. His book Language (1933) integrated the field of linguistics for the first time.

It then delves into the study of speech sounds, including the production, perception, and classification of phonemes. The next section covers the study of word structure, including the analysis of morphemes and their various forms. The book then moves on to syntax, which involves the study of sentence structure and the rules governing the formation of phrases and clauses.Bloomfield also discusses semantics, which is concerned with the meaning of words and sentences, and the ways in which meaning is conveyed through language.

He also includes exercises and questions at the end of each chapter to help readers test their understanding of the material.Overall, ''An Introduction to the Study of Language'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in linguistics, language acquisition, or language teaching.
