Synopsis:

LANGUAGE: ITS STRUCTURE AND USE explains core concepts in an interactive style that you can understand no matter what your major. With features like "What Do You Think?" and "Try It Yourself," you'll understand what you're experiencing on campus and in the classroom from a linguistics perspective. The expanded study sections and the available workbook provide you with the tools you'll need for effective test prep.

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."
