This book covers many ideas you need to know, however, it does a poor job of explaining those ideas. It may be useful if you have an instructor who can elaborate on the concepts. Often, the explanations will be long winded yet not even thorough, just obtuse. This approach tends to make the material seem more difficult than it actually is. Also, Chapter 6 belongs in the back of the book. The Chang text has much better structure and clarity.

I remember taking linguistics classes where the textbook writing was dense, but that was just the nature of the material. The writing in this book is dense as well, however, the density of this book is more of a function of expository style.

Its a textbook folks! What more can I say other than it arrived on time and in good condition. Amazon saved me $$$$$ on this textbook.
