Items related to Linguistics: A Functionalist Introduction
Synopsis
Linguistics: A Functionalist Introduction is a concise, accessible guide to the fundamentals of language and expression for students that are new to the subject.
Unlike other introductions, this book uses a functionalist framework that reflects the way language users form, derive and change meaning in a holistic way: not just through the technical construction of sentences but from how language is experienced, used, stored and processed in the mind. Beginning by introducing the concept of linguistics and different approaches to the subject, the book progresses to introducing the building blocks of language, with chapters on phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. The scope then broadens out to examine language in context and use, including language change, writing systems, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and language acquisition. Each chapter is enriched with examples to aid learning.
This textbook is an ideal choice for students or instructors looking for a more intuitive approach
to learning the fundamentals of linguistics, and is ideal for introductory linguistics classes within a
variety of programs, including and especially future language arts teachers.
