non-technical introduction to the study of language. The core
areas of language study are approached by focusing on questions
such as: Where does language come from? Why don't we all talk
the same? Who needs grammar? Pitched at a level which is
suitable for students with no experience of linguistics, this
lively introduction to language approaches will encourage
students to think. 'Immensely informative and enjoyable.' - Ian
Hancock, Professor of Linguistics, University of Texas at
Austin, USA 'An excellent resource.' - April McMahon, Professor
of English Language, University of Edinburgh, UK
