Language and Linguistics by Jan Don, Caitlin Meyer, and Judith Rispens is an English-language printed textbook that offers a broad introduction to the main themes of linguistics. This book covers all linguistic subfields, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse, and pragmatics.
The third revised edition builds on developments in the field and highlights fundamental concepts with examples from different languages. In addition, attention is given to applied topics such as language acquisition, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and language disorders. The discussion of language processing is deepened with new interdisciplinary research from the neuro- and computer sciences, and recent insights from optimality theory and other phonological research are also covered.
This textbook is suitable for professionals and study programs that focus on linguistics and language science from a broad perspective.
