The Study of Language 5th Edition

Terrific book. Used as a text in my class. I learned so much about the history of development of languages and the reasons why languages are so different. Well written. Should be a two semester book to allow deeper exploration of various subjects discussed.

This book deals with broad issues about the language. It is reasonable to understand because most of the ideas are supported by detailed examples and studies. This book is suitable for college students interested in languages and the field of linguistics.

The study of language helped me understand my language class I take in college. It's very detailed and explains everything in a simple manner. I got the book on kindle, saved a lot of money then buying it in college or hard copy.

It is exactly as described and its actually interesting too. It came super fast thanks to having Prime membership with free 2 day shipping! I ordered on it on a Friday and got it Saturday, the very next day! Awesome!

The book targets large audiences, so it's very easy to read. It does not go into much detail about its topics, but it gives you a good starting point for your own research.

Quite confusing when your first language is not English. Breaks down everything their is from pronunciation to vowel movements to produce specific sounds. This is a must have for Linguistic major and is not that hard to read but it is hard to understand and master.

Very easy to follow along and the information is very useful as well as current. The book really does a great job on explaining the concepts in the book

The package arrived on time and has contained all the necessary information for the linguistics class
