"Linguistics: An Introduction to Linguistic Theory" is a textbook,
written for introductory courses in linguistic theory for
undergraduate linguistics majors and first-year graduate students.
Twelve major figures in the field bring their expertise to each of
the core areas of the field - morphology, syntax, semantics,
phonetics, phonology, and language acquisition.
In each section the book is concerned with discussing the
underlying principles common to all languages, showing how these
are revealed in language acquisition and in the specific grammars
of the world's languages. Theoretical concepts are introduced
through the analysis of a wide set of language data from Arabic to
Zulu. The student will learn how to "do" linguistics by working
through real linguistic data. Each section explains how to define
and solve a problem; organizes the data into paradigms revealing
the structured patterns in the data; formulates generalizations
based on these patterns; proposes rules or principles to account
for the generalization; seeks independent evidence in its argument
for the proposed theoretical construct.
The book brings the latest developments in theoretical
linguistics to bear in its discussion of the traditional issues. It
covers these subjects in greater depth than is found in most
introductory texts permitting the student to proceed directly,
after using this text, to graduate courses in the field. It
contains problems, a glossary, and a bibliography for further
reading.
"Linguistics "is supported by an instructor's manual.
