How to Study Linguistics | Geoffrey Finch, Martin Coyle, John Peck

Intended primarily for newcomers to the subject, but with new material designed to help the more advanced reader, "How to Study Linguistics" is written in a refreshing and engaging style. It assumes no prior knowledge and contains many useful suggestions for developing a secure understanding of the subject. Chapters discuss strategies for studying phonology, syntax, and semantics, and for pursuing branches of linguistics, such as sociolinguistics, stylistics, and psycholinguistics, as well as practical advice on writing essays. The book also includes a glossary to aid learning and revision.
