  • Waterstones A History of Modern Linguistics

    Price: £24.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Takes a sociological approach to the history of linguistics Offers a concise history of modern linguistics up to World War II Examines the connections between linguistics and neighbouring fields, including philosophy, psychology and anthropology Focuses on historical figures in linguistics, and the social and political contexts that shaped their ideas and methods Provides extensive suggestions for further reading In this book, Mc Elvenny offers a concise history of modern linguistics from its emergence in the early nineteenth century up to the end of World War II. Written as a collective biography of the field, it concentrates on the interaction between the leading figures of linguistics, their controversies, and the role of the social and political context in shaping their ideas and methods. While A History of Modern Linguistics focuses on disciplinary linguistics, the boundaries of the account are porous: developments in neighbouring fields - in particular, philosophy, psychology and anthropology - are brought into the discussion where they have contributed to linguistic research.

    Description: A clear and up-to-date introduction to linguistics.

Extensively classroom-tested, this second edition has been revised to further support student learning, with numerous new examples, exercises and textboxes to model and contextualise key concepts. Updated throughout to incorporate contemporary issues and events, it includes worked examples of phonological analyses and multiple examples of a variety of World Englishes.
