Review
"I have been using Pyles and Algeo for the last several years primarily because of its coverage of sound in Chapter 2, its coverage of semantics in Chapter 10, and its coverage of derivation in Chapter 11. I like that the book covers some of the basics of linguistics in addition to all the usual historical material." "The book presents difficult material clearly and logically. The narrative sections are clear, and when needed, they are followed by good examples... It's an excellent book, and I'm completely satisfied with its pedagogy."
Synopsis
An earlier edition is cited in Books for College Libraries, 3d ed. Though the essence of Pyles' classic text is preserved, several changes have been incorporated into in this fifth edition. Algeo (his affiliation is not noted) has updated some examples, incorporated the notes into the text, converted the references to current MLA in-text citation,
