## Description

desertcart.com: The Study of Language: 9781316606759: Yule, George: Books

Review: great content, needs better shipping material - The book itself is very informative and interesting. The shipped item was in less than stellar condition (soft cover book in paper shipping envelope + potentially rough transport handling). Replaced with one in even worse shape. desertcart good about replacement, though.
Review: Excellent introductory book about language/linguistics - This book is a very well-written, clear, and reasonably complete introduction to the elements of human language and introductory topics of linguistics. It would serve well as an introductory textbook for non-Linguistics majors, foreign language majors, and education majors who may be required to take a language study course. It could also serve in the same capacity for high school courses that fit a college-bound curriculum. In all cases, it is a pleasant read for anyone interested in the story of human languages. As a textbook, it is reasonably-priced and compact. There is really little else in this niche that can compare to this textbook. The standard for a more rigorous introduction to linguistics study probably remains the Fromkin editions, and they are considerably more expensive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good textbook
*by E***N on February 17, 2019*

I like this textbook because it has enough depth and yet is easy enough to understand for beginning linguistic students. I like the Kindle edition because it is easy to search for a given passage and copy phrases to slides when explaining homework. Also, the Kindle edition makes it easy to look up words you don't understand. As an instructor, I wish the publisher would provide an answer key (for instructors only).
