Cruz, Ferreira, Madalena and Sunita Anne Abraham. 2011. The Language of Language: A Linguistics Course for Starters. North Charleston, SC: CreateSpace.
“Now in its third edition, published in 2011, our book is aimed at multilingual speakers of English with no prior background in language studies. Our goal is to encourage informed thinking about (why) language matters. Packed with over 100 commented activities, examples of language play, and fun “food for thought”, the book is designed to foster independent exploration of language and linguistics. It comes complete with a companion website. The book is appropriate for language teacher training, as well as for language study courses at A-level/junior college or university level.”(more info)
