Description
If you've ever wondered why we need concepts like noun and verb or word and phrase when discussing language, this book is for you. Deliberately selective in its approach and assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics. The Language of Language explores the nature of language and linguists' agreed-upon ways of talking about the object of their inquiry. Our focus is on modes of thinking rather that content knowledge. Our goal is to encourage informed thinking about language matters and why language matters. It offers Instructor Resources containing a set of PowerPoint slides and a set of worked exercises in PDF format, for each chapter in the book. - from Amzon
