The first edition of this major introduction to linguistics rapidly
established itself as an important student textbook, and a
reference tool for those who already have some acquaintance with
linguistics. This second edition has been updated and revised and
includes new chapters on syntax and on current developments in
generative grammar, as well as new material on the nature of
language and on morphology. This book first provides a
comprehensive critical review of the analytic tools and theories of
linguistics and systematically surveys major concepts in phonetics,
phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Having established the
basic nature and structure of language, the final part of the book
engages some of the wider issues concerning the use of language in
speaking and understanding (psycholinguistics), language
development in children, social aspects of language
(sociolinguistics), and historical language choice.

"A unique, significant contribution to our maturing studies of
the Clovis era."--Gary Haynes, author of The Early Settlement of
North America: The Clovis Era
The Paleoindian Clovis culture is known for distinctive stone
and bone tools often associated with mammoth and bison remains,
dating back some 13,500 years. While the term Clovis is known to
every archaeology student, few books have detailed the specifics of
Clovis archaeology. This collection of essays investigates caches
of Clovis tools, many of which have only recently come to light.
These caches are time capsules that allow archaeologists to examine
Clovis tools at earlier stages of manufacture than the broken and
discarded artifacts typically recovered from other sites. The
studies comprising this volume treat methodological and theoretical
issues including the recognition of Clovis caches, Clovis lithic
technology, mobility, and land use.
