A brilliantly accessible guide to our most defining faculty as humans: language. Linguistics: A Graphic Guide combines iconic text and images to take us into the fascinating story told by our words. It covers the history of the field from its ancient origins to the most significant and recent advances. It also includes the work of the towering American linguists, such as Chomsky, who were at the centre of the incredible modern blossoming of linguistics.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
