Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. Yet another fantastic introduction to a subject. This book covered some of the basics of my favourite aspects of language such as grammar construction, syntax and morphology. Plus the comparison of language evolution to biological evolution provided a whole new understanding of language. This book has inspired me to study further.

How many languages are there? Are new languages still being discovered? Why are so many languages disappearing? In this Very Short Introduction, eminent linguist Stephen Anderson addresses such questions as he illuminates the science behind languages. Considering a wide range of different languages and linguistic examples, Anderson provides the basic facts about the world's major families of spoken languages and their distribution around the globe. He explores the basis for linguistic classification and raises questions about how we identify a language. Considering signed languages as well as spoken, Anderson also examines the wider social issues of losing languages, and their impact on vanishing cultures and peoples.

Etwas mehr harte Fakten wären nett gewesen (z.B. Sprachfamilien) und etwas über die evolutionäre Entstehung der Sprache beim Menschen, aber auch so ein netter appetizer. ( )
