Linguistics falls in the gap between arts and science, on the edges of which the most fascinating discoveries and the most important problems are found. Rather than following the conventional organization of many contemporary introductions to the subject, the author of this stimulating guide begins his discussion with the oldest, 'arts' end of the subject and moves chronologically through to the newest research - the 'science' aspects. A series of short thematic chapters look in turn at such areas as the prehistory of languages and their common origins, language and evolution, language in time and space (the nature of change inherent in language), grammars and dictionaries (how systematic is language?), and phonetics. Explication of the newest discoveries pertaining to language in the brain completes the coverage of all major aspects of linguistics from a refreshing and insightful angle.

評分挺全麵的,看原版纔知道,可能有些牛津通識的讀本的翻譯反而比原本更不親和。
評分高英book report。哭。。。我看過的書這麼少,學術的也include進來

評分超爛的入門書… 這本感覺受眾是初中生。。。看完幾乎什麽都沒學到。語言學還是適閤直接看著作。
