The dress of thought - aspects of the study of language

Aspects of the Study of LanguageThe Dress of Thought is an introduction to some of the central areas in the study of language: phonetics and phonology, word-formation, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, and dialectology. Although examples may occasionally be taken from other languages, the emphasis is constantly on the system, use and history of English, with the interests and needs of the second-language learner in focus. To help the reader assimilate the material presented in the book, each chapter is provided with a set of exercises and a list of suggestions for further reading. The book concludes with a glossary in which well over 500 linguistic terms are explained.Läs mer om boken på studentlitteratur.se
