Yule George. The Study of Language

Eighth edition. — Cambridge University Press, 2023. — 672 p.In The Study of Language, I have tried to present a comprehensive survey
of what is known about language and also of the methods used by linguists
in arriving at that knowledge. My main goal has been to provide a broad yet
concise treatment of a large number of topics, especially for those who may
have had little previous experience with the vocabulary, symbols and
descriptions employed in language analysis. I have also created tasks to
accompany each chapter, providing opportunities for you to learn more
about English and other languages and to explore additional topics in a way
that involves problem solving and discovery learning.
