摘要:"Index for introductory linguistics and language courses, this text draws on topics from cognitive science to engage students in the study of the theory of language, sounds, words, sentences, and meanings, as well as language and the brain. The text surveys all levels of language, with an emphasis on grammar construction and argumentation. Along with coverage of phonics, phonology, morphology, semantics and syntax, the text covers more unconventional topics including language and culture, and language evolution."--Jacket.
