Review
"It’s the most comprehensive introduction to linguistics ever, and it never strays far from my elbow."
"I am pleased with the text’s wide selection of topics—I feel like the students are getting more for their money. I encourage interested students to read further in the text—even after the course ends. I think many keep it as a reference for future work."
". . . I appreciate the expertise this text represents. This is a solid scholarly study of linguistics."
"I have used this book for 29 years already and am still very happy with it. So far, new editions have come closer and closer to my ideal textbook. Even now, it’s the only textbook for any of my courses that does just what I want it to do in terms of topics covered and level of difficulty. Just as important, the students find it clear and straightforward, yet fun and intriguing as well. . . ."
"An Introduction to Language is comprehensive and inclusive. It gives students an excellent introduction to language study and outlines the concepts in general linguistics as well as sociolinguistics and recent work in language processing. There seems to be something for everyone." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
