An introduction to language fromkin6/1/2023 Pedagogues will certainly appreciate the grouping: Such organization of the material makes it easier for the teacher to construct and follow a syllabus for a two-semester course. The contents are divided into twelve chapters grouped into four parts: ‘The nature of human language’ (1–65), ‘Grammatical aspects of language’ (67–337), ‘The psychology of language’ (339–441), and ‘Language and society’ (443–572). Largely a continuation of the work of the late Victoria Fromkin, the new edition has been revised, reorganized, and updated by Robert Rodman and Nina Hyams to reflect current progress in linguistic research and to make it more accessible to language students. No doubt the seventh edition of this already classic introductory textbook to linguistics will be welcomed with the enthusiasm it deserves.
