| book description |
This introduction to language and linguistics as the science of language looks mainly at language from the perspective of expressing thoughts and ideas - the cognitive perspective. The cognitive perspective also holds that language is part of a cognitive system which comprises perception, emotions, categorization, abstraction processes, and reasoning. All these cognitive abilities interact with, and are affected by, language. Thus the study of language, in a sense, becomes the study of the way we express and exchange ideas and thoughts. This work is part of a project which sets out to introduce linguistics in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch and Greek. The idea is to create the possibility for students participating in international exchange programmes to find similar syllabuses in the host country. The book is the product of an international authorship. Chapters cover lexicology, morphology, syntax, phonetics and phonology, cross-cultural semantics, pragmatics, text linguistics, historical linguistics, and language comparison.
