Sobre IBD

Thinking about Language encourages students to begin thinking about ways of seeing language and introduces past debates and current disputes on the way that human language works. The second half of the book explores some of the specific questions addressed by theorists, and the implications of different types of linguistic theory for the answers they have suggested. Chapman offers a balance between theory and application and provides an interesting and accessible introduction to the history of linguistic theory, the variety of different theoretical approaches to language study, and to the current state of the subject.
