Are you curious to know what all human languages have in common and
in what ways they differ? Do you want to find out how language can
be used to trace different peoples and their past? Then this book
is for you! Now in its third edition, it guides beginners through
the rich diversity of the world's languages. It presupposes no
background in linguistics, and introduces the reader to linguistic
concepts with the help of problem sets, end of chapter exercises
and an extensive bibliography. Charts of language families provide
geographical and genealogical information, and engaging sidebars
with demographic, social, historical and geographical facts help to
contextualise and bring languages to life. This edition includes a
fully updated glossary of all linguistic terms used, new problem
sets, and a new chapter on cartography. Supplementary online
materials include links to all websites mentioned, and answers to
the exercises for instructors.
