The Study of Language
Designed for beginners, this best-selling textbook provides a lively introduction to the
study of language. Starting from the basics, it provides a solid foundation in all of the
essential topics, and introduces the analysis of the key elements of language – sounds,
words, structures and meanings. A wide range of fascinating questions are explored,
such as how conversation works, how children learn language, why women and men
speak differently, and how language varies between regions and social groups.
This third edition has been extensively revised to include new sections on important
contemporary issues in language study, including language and culture, African
American English, gestures and slang. A comprehensive glossary provides useful
explanations of technical terms, and each chapter contains a range of new study
questions and research tasks, with suggested answers.

introduction to the field available today.
