What do we need to know about language and why do we need to know
it? Providing the essential tools with which to analyse and talk
about language, this book demonstrates the relevance of linguistics
to our understanding of the world around us. This second edition
includes: - Discussion of key areas of contemporary interest, such
as neo-pronouns, translanguaging, and communication in the digital
arena -Two brand new chapters exploring language and identity, and
language and social media - A range of new and international
examples - New and updated references and suggested readings -
Tasks to aid learning at the end of each chapter - A glossary of
key terms. Introducing a set of practical tools for language
analysis and using numerous examples of authentic communicative
activity, such as overheard conversations, social media posts,
advertisements and public announcements, Why Do Linguistics?
explores language and language use from a social, intercultural and
multilingual perspective, showing how this kind of analysis works
and what it can tell us about social interaction. Also accompanied
by a new companion website featuring audio, video and other
supportive resources for students and teachers, this book will help
you to become an informed, active noticer of language.
