Format:Paperback
This reprint of the 1985 second edition of "Linguistics" does offer some insights into the study of language. These insights are mainly to be garnered from Crystal's often amusing coverage of the history of the emergence of linguistics as an art and a science. I found the book somewhat helpful but limited in that it is written from the viewpoint of the mid-eighties and so does not cover developments since then.

A book for students
1 May 2004
Format:Hardcover
Linguistics is supposed a difficult subject for students. This book is a good book for students.It explain about the topics that what is linguistics and what is not linguistics and what are advantages to study the linguistics. The writer gives informations about some other books of linguistics which may be useful for students.I thank that this book is ,also,useful for a common man who want to know primary informations about linguistics ,but it don't satisfy a scholar who want to research about important schools of linguistics or origin of language.
