This introductory linguistics text looks at various themes. One primary theme is the question, How is a speaker's communicative intent recognized? Rather than treat phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics as completely separate fields, the text shows how they interact in principled ways. Similarly, language variation and acquisition are informed by results in these fields. The text provides a sound introduction to linguistic methodology while also revealing why people are intrinsically interested in language - the ultimate puzzle of the human mind.… (mais)

Chapter 1 -- What is Linguistics? -- Many people, even highly educated people, will tell you that they have heard of linguistics but only have a vague idea of what it is about. Some people will tell you that a linguist is a person who speaks many languages and may work as a language teacher or as an interpreter at the United Nations. Still others will tell you that a linguist is someone who can help you decide whether it is better to say "It is I." or "It is me." Yet it is quite possible to be a professional linguist (and an excellent one at that) without having taught a single language class, without having interpreted at the UN, and without speaking any more than one language. As you will discover, the field of linguistics -- the scientific study of language -- goes far beyond the popular conceptions we have just cited.

To sum up, the different forms of aphasia show that representation of linguistic functions in the left hemisphere is by no means uniform or equal. We have seen that lesions in different areas of the left hemisphere lead to distinct aphasia syndromes. Future research on these distinctions is certain to be both interesting and important.
