| Summary |
"Do you know the difference between an accent and a dialect? Are you unsure what uptalk is? Have you ever pondered how we produce speech? Perhaps you're confused by creole or perplexed by the passive. If so, then this book is for you. The Babel Lexicon of Language is aimed at new linguists and non-linguists and explains over 500 of the most commonly used terms in language study. We hope it will be useful to anyone with an interest in language. If you're studying language at school or college, then it will be of direct benefit in helping you to understand some of the specialist terms used in language study"-- Provided by publisher |
