Most of the time we communicate using language without considering
the complex activity we are undertaking, forming words and
sentences in a split second. This book introduces the analysis of
language structure, combining both description and theory within a
single, practical text. It begins by examining words and parts of
words, and then looks at how words work together to form sentences
that communicate meaning. Sentence patterns across languages are
also studied, looking at the similarities and the differences we
find in how languages communicate meaning. The book also discusses
how context can affect how we structure our sentences: the context
of a particular language and its structures, the context of old and
new information for us and our addressee(s), and the context of our
culture.
