5.0 out of 5 stars my first linguistic book, October 2, 2008

Liz "wildflower" (chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Language Files: Materials for an Introduction to Language and Linguistics (Paperback)

This is a awesome book to get a grasp of understanding languages and to start you off on a good foot if you are learning, or want to learn to be a linguist or teach english as a second laguage. If you are just wanting to see what languages and linguistics is all about, get this book. It goes over phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, and other areas of language.I recommend this book if this field of learning interests you.

This is an excellent book for anyone studying linguistics. It is detailed and easy to read. I have bought a couple of previous editions and the changes are always up to date in the field. I would highly recommend.

Lex (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Language Files: Materials for an Introduction to Language and Linguistics (Paperback)

Linguistics is not easy, but this book is an easy read. It is nice to have all of the tables and charts in the back. A useful tool that I will continue to reference even after the class is over.

Was delivered right on time and the condition was what I expected. The cover is a little worn, but it's like the description told me and will be fine for my purpose.
