Linguistics for Everyone

Linguistics for Everyone is a comprehensive introduction to linguistics which provides a detailed yet simple knowledge base for understanding linguistic concepts and processes.

Its contents are interesting and well formulated, and due to its clarity, effective layout, and plethora of examples, exercises and activities, it is more appropriate for beginners than comparable textbooks such as Fromkin et al. (2007) and O‟Grady et al. (2005).
