About this book

LINGUISTICS FOR EVERYONE: AN INTRODUCTION, Second Edition, relates the study of linguistics to the language of communication in the real world. The text is organized to make the material easy to find and relevant to your life. The first chapter gives you the basics such as how to define language, new ways to look at grammar, and your innate knowledge about language. Later chapters address core linguistics areas in depth (phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics). Many innovative activities help you review and practice the content and offer ample opportunities to apply the knowledge immediately. Special features throughout the book demystify common curiosities about language how language works.
