Kurzbeschreibung von: Essential Introductory Linguistics

This is a new kind of introduction to linguistics. It makes clear what is important or essential, and omits what is not. It is strictly selective, highly structured, focused, to-the-point and informative. It integrates many exercises into the text.In doing this it meets the needs of the busy reader who wants the book to get straight to the point while engaging in active learning.Chapters are organized in a very clear way, with numbered and labeled sections. They present information in lists and provide generous illustrative material. Each chapter concludes with an outline, a list of new concepts and terms, and with a set of short, often objective, exercises.
