This volume attempts to raise the reader's awareness of the importance of the nature, structure and use of language, and the influence of these in the functioning of a language. Foreign language classes generally present only the "how" of language, not the insights which would allow students to understand the "why" of its characteristics. The chief importance of this book is to provide that missing information. By clearly indicating the links between the nature, use and structure of language, and issues raised in language learning and teaching, it should enable the reader to follow with confidence and understanding topics and theories currently being debated. A wide selection of data from many languages is used to support the discussion.
