Synopsis:
Linguistics for Beginners - the first book ever to make the arcane labours of linguistics to general readers - begins with a lucid definition of language and proceeds to examine how language becomes the subject matter of linguisitics. Topics include the contrast between writing and speech and elementary lessons in different levels of analysis from sounds to sentences. Here, absurd fictions are explored and the borderlands between linguistics and philosophy are investigated.
About the Author:
W. Terrence Gordon has published more than twenty books, including McLuhan For Beginners and Linguistics For Beginners. He is currently at work on a book about James Joyce and a biographical fiction about the legendary linguist Charles Kay Ogden. When he is not busy writing or teaching, Gordon photographs the haunting beauty of Nova Scotia, Canada, where he has lived since the 1970s.
Susan Willmarth was born in New Mexico and moved in the early '70's to New York City.
