About This Item
Copenhagen, Denmark: Museum Tusculanum Press University of Copenhagen, 2002. Book. VG+. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Hardback bound in glossy illustrated boards with illustrated end pages. No defects to note on the book. This book is intended as counter-evidence to the perception of Linguistics as the domain of dusty schoolroom grammar, where proponents of one theoretical orientation or the other spend their brief breaks in the playground bashing the others over the head with their favorite abstractions. The discipline may appear to outsiders as fragmented and, worse still, lacking in relevance to the real world outside its gates. The purpose is to show that Linguistics, in all its varied branches, can be entertaining as well as thought-provoking. 391 pages with a few black and white illustrated. .
