, Exploring Language Structure
Designed for those beginning to study linguistics, this is a
lively introduction to two key aspects of the structure of lan-
guage: syntax (the structure of sentences) and morphology
(the structure of words). It shows students in a step-by-step
fashion how to analyze the syntax and morphology of any
language, by clearly describing the basic methods and tech-
niques, and providing almost 100 practical exercises based on
data from a rich variety of the world’s languages. Written in an
engaging style and complete with a comprehensive glossary,
Exploring language structure explains linguistic concepts by
using clear analogies from everyday life. It introduces a range
of essential topics in syntax and morphology such as rules,
categories, word classes, grammatical relations, multi-clause
constructions, and typology. Providing a solid foundation in
morphology and syntax, this is the perfect introductory text
for beginning students, and will fully prepare them for more
advanced courses in linguistic analysis.
