This is an engaging introduction to the study of language for
undergraduate or beginning graduate students, aimed especially at
those who would like to continue further linguistic study. It
introduces students to analytical thinking about language, but goes
beyond existing texts to show what it means to think like a
scientist about language, through the exploration of data and
interactive problem sets. A key feature of this text is its
flexibility. With its focus on foundational areas of linguistics
and scientific analysis, it can be used in a variety of course
types, with instructors using it alongside other information or
texts as appropriate for their own courses of study. The text can
also serve as a supplementary text in other related fields (Speech
and Hearing Sciences, Psychology, Education, Computer Science,
Anthropology, and others) to help learners in these areas better
understand how linguists think about and work with language data.
No prerequisites are necessary. While each chapter often references
content from the others, the three central chapters on sound,
structure, and meaning, may be used in any order.
