This well-established and widely adopted text on Linguistics, now in its Fifth Edition, has been thoroughly revised and updated to integrate the various themes into a unified whole. Rather than treat philosophy, phonetics, morphology, syntax, seman-tics, and pragmatics as completely separate fields, the text shows how they interact in principled ways. WHAT`S NEW TO THE FIFTH EDITION
The new structure of Chapter 2 on Morphology stresses the creative parts of English vocabulary. The primary transcription system in Chapter 3 on Phonetics and Phonemic Transcription-and in fact throughout the text-is the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Chapter 4 has a new section on Phonology that discusses the interaction of full and reduced vowels. Chapters on Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Language Acquisition in Children, and Language and the Brain have been revised and updated.
This systematically organized and coherently constructed book can be used as a text for postgraduate students of linguistics, postgraduate students of English pursuing courses in linguistics, and for undergraduate programmes in English where linguistics is offered.ISBN 9788120326545
