What is Linguistics? How do languages work? Why is this important?

Answering these questions and more, Linguistics: An Introduction covers all the key topics that you will need in your study of language and linguistics. Over 17 chapters, William McGregor outlines the core ideas and approaches in the field, tracing their development and discussing the most recent trends. Using examples from a wide range of languages and contexts from around the world, this book assumes no prior knowledge of linguistics and contains a host of pedagogic features, including key terms, discussion questions, and exercises, to fully support your learning.

Fully revised and updated, this third edition now includes:

- A new chapter on corpus linguistics
- New topics, including theories of syntax, text typology and the evolution of languages
- New 'Research Methods' sections at the end of each chapter
- Updated examples drawn from a variety of global perspectives and contexts, ranging from North America to East Asia

With a comprehensive companion website featuring additional questions, reading materials, and videos, alongside an online instructor guide, which includes lecture slides, suggested course outlines and structures, and an answer key, this is your essential introduction to the study of linguistics.
