Language is the medium in which we humans compose our thoughts,
explain our thinking, construct our arguments, and create works of
literature. Without language, societies as complex as ours could
not exist. Geoffrey Pullum offers a stimulating introduction to the
many ways in which linguistics, as the scientific study of
language, matters. With its close relationships to psychology,
education, philosophy, and computer science, the subject has a
compelling human story to tell about the ways in which different
societies see and describe the world, and its far-reaching
applications range from law to medicine and from developmental
psychology to artificial intelligence. Introducing Polity's Why It
Matters series: In these short and lively books, world-leading
thinkers make the case for the importance of their subjects and aim
to inspire a new generation of students.
