"Grover Hudson's book is an outstanding choice for introductory courses in language and linguistics. It covers almost every topic one might wish to present. Its clear prose, excellent examples and related assignments are strong points. By covering broad topics in short chapters at different levels, it allows the instructor to tailor the book to the needs of different groups of students." Charlotte Webb, San Diego State University
"Grover Hudson's Essentials of Linguistics is a well-written student-friendly text, with the technicalities of language study explained well. As a cautious but encouraging and helpful guide, Hudson clearly explains complicated terms and concepts - a boon to an introductory class. Yet his comprehensive, in-depth coverage of a myriad of linguistics topics makes this an ideal text for higher level linguistic classes as well. Hudson uses dozens of different languages, including non-Indo-European varieties, in his examples and exercises to give students a taste of the broad scope of world languages and thoughtfully includes both British and American phonetics. Particularly impressive are the number, originality, and quality of exercises provided at the end of each chapter, necessary learning tools for both the novice/student and instructor. I am anxious to "test-drive" this text the next time I teach linguistics!" Kathy Lyday-Lee, Professor of English and Linguistics, Elon College
"Grover Hudson's Essential Introductory Linguistics is an extremely readable and sophisticated introduction to the field of linguistics. It provides a balanced synthesis of the most significant current thinking in the field in an accessible and well-documented way, while at the same time providing a wealth of student practice and discussion material at the end of each chapter... The material clearly results from years of refinement in classroom use." Norman Gary, Principal Educational Consultant, Sun Microsystems Inc.'
"Thanks to its good overview of a wide range of issues, Essential Introductory Linguistics is definitely a textbook worth recommending for introductory courses in linguistics; additionally chapters on sounds, vocabulary and word formation can be profitably used in EFL descriptive grammar classes." Studia Linguistica
