About this title

Review:

"Throughout the text, Finegan consistently exhibits a clear, lively writing style that engages the students without sounding condescending. With only a couple of exceptions the chapters beyond the core topics of phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax are gems as stand-alone essays on the nature of language. I truly regret that I don't have more time in a semester to include more of them The exercises at the ends of the chapters are excellent."
