Acerca deste livro eletrónico

This book provides a non-technical introduction to the study of language by focusing on questions such as:
- Where does language come from?
- Why don't we all talk the same?
- Who needs grammar?

Suitable for students with no experience of linguistics, this lively introduction to language approaches will encourage students to think.
