We are delighted to announce that one of our most established and best-selling textbooks has just published in 2nd edition - completely updated and remastered for 2012!
Aimed at all beginners to the subject, Understanding Language is the perfect introduction for any student taking linguistics at university, whether as their main subject of study, or in conjunction with related fields. Praise for the book has pulled out its easy to navigate style and accessible prose:
'This book is a beautifully organized, clear and readable introduction to the field of linguistics. The writing is lively and interesting, while at the same time presenting complex and often technical ideas in a manner that's both accurate and accessible. Students brand new to the discipline will enjoy reading this book, and linguists who teach introductory courses will benefit from its clear and direct explanations.' Amy Fountain, Adjunct lecturer in the Department of Linguistics, University of Arizona, USA
‘Winkler's work provides a solid introduction to the field of linguistics. Covering major subfields in a concise and clear fashion, this book will serve as an excellent introduction to the field for majors and non-majors alike. Winkler presents rather complex and technical ideas in a lively and disarming manner that makes the material both accessible and engaging. Winkler has written a work the not only introduces the field of linguistics to novice students, but also illuminates our current understanding of language and the techniques and tools linguists use to achieve that understanding.’ Shannon Bischoff, Assistant Professor, English & Linguistics, Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne, USA
