"If you are a veteran linguist or linguistics teacher, this book
will propel you back to what first captivated you about linguistic
inquiry. If you are new to the field, this textbook is a delightful
laboratory manual for thinking linguistically." (The Modern
Language Journal, autumn 2010)
Walt Wolfram, North Carolina State University
“The authors skillfully engage readers in doing linguistics as a kind of scientific inquiry. An elegant demonstration of the steps in identifying patterns, formulating and testing hypotheses, and offering parsimonious descriptions and explanations.”
Walt Wolfram, North Carolina State University
“Honda and O’Neil have taught linguistics at the
center and on the periphery, to grade schoolers, teachers, and
graduate students: always theoretical, always understandable,
always useful. These unique materials show that the study of
English and of every other language can be a science accessible to
all.”
Nigel Fabb, University of Strathclyde
