The framework for linguistics described in this book is not an
introduction to linguistics in the conventional sense. Rather, it
is an invitation to those entering the discipline to become
intrigued by things lingual. Working from the premise that
linguistics is not many disciplines, but one, however much it is
sometimes divided up into formal ("theoretical") and
sociolinguistic camps, it is designed to provide insight into
phenomena operating within the lingual dimension of our experience,
that circumscribes the field of linguistics. The framework allows
young scholars entering the field to gain an understanding of why
and how the discipline is academically sustainable, a perspective
that is likely to be useful beyond the shifts in linguistic
paradigms that they will no doubt experience in their academic
lifetimes.
