"A most readable guide to the questions, data and theories of contemporary linguistics." <i>Charles W. Kreidler, Georgetown University</i> <p>"The competing paradigms for investigating language are introduced with great skill and without unnecessary technical details or jargon. I enjoyed reading it." <i>Broj B. Kachru, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.</i></p>

This book is intended for anyone with a serious interest in language, but particularly for students taking introductory courses in language and linguistics. It is not a catalogue of facts and theories but a book about ideas and issues. Rather than summarize the range of research being conducted in linguistics today, it explores a number of the fundamental key questions which concern linguists, they are treated in way that is as accessible as possible. The book includes a glossary of technical terms and a chapter outlining the way language is described in generative grammar.
