This book offers a unique and broad perspective of human language.
Each topic is covered in depth, with detailed "files" containing
important information, questions, ideas for activities, and
practical hints and suggestions. Some chapter topics such as syntax
and semantics are normally reserved for college-level courses in
linguistics, while others are appropriate for the general reader
interested in speech and language development, speech disorders,
language acquisition or just how different languages came about.
I found the chapter on animal communication refreshingly informative.
A great book that does its job in covering a broad, complex topic!

Used for a language class. Easy to read but sometimes lacked depth.

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.

This book is a wonderful resource for ESL teachers and Bilingual teachers. I was very surprised to learn all about how phonetics is so different but also similar among the different languages. It has helped me tremendously in my classroom. I recommend this book to anyone that just want to know how different languages are. Great book!!

Dead Fly Squished In The Book
Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2013Verified Purchase
When I got the book, there was a dead fly squished between the two of the pages of the book, and it had leaked onto the neighbouring pages. Truly disgusting. Also, took over a month to get to my house. Not satisfied at all.

大学院英語専攻の学生とした時に、担任の教授に「Language Files: Materials for an Introduction to Language and Linguistics」を教えていただいて、購入しました。授業の教材の一つとして勉強してました。内容は理解しやすくて、実用性も高いと思います。
