This book is recommended for any student or general reader looking
for a short and clear introduction to the subject of linguistics.
It examines the main themes and issues, showing how languages are
constructed and the rules they obey. Yaguello focuses on devices
such as humour, word-games and figures of speech as a means of
showing the way in which oral and written communication operates.
Highly expert and yet very readable, this is an excellent guide to
a fascinating subject. (Kirkus UK)
What does wordplay - in the broadest sense - teach us about language, its functions, its characteristics, its structure, and how it works? Marina Yaguello investigates how language is used in word games and literature, and how this relates to linguistic theory. This book is an excellent and entertaining introduction to language for students and non-specialists.
