Daftar Isi:
- Introduction to English Linguistics is a textbook which covers all of the elements of linguistics. This textbook is focused on English linguistics. It begins from the nature of language because language is the core of linguistics. The first explanation deals with the origin of language, definition of language, the feature of language and some basic distinctions of language. The second explanation deals with the elements of linguistics, including phonology, morphology, syntax, generative transformational grammar,semantics, pragmatics and discourse analysis. The third explanation deals with the relation between linguistics and other sciences, such as sociology, to become sociolinguistics; and psychology to become psycholinguistics. The last explanation deals with historical linguistics and also about the name of linguists who have contributed toward linguistics. This textbook is a substantial foundation for the students to learn language. It also serves as an introductory textbook for students of linguistics and as important background material for students of modern languages. Hopefully, this textbook may have a good valuable contribution toward linguistics, especially for those who intend to make further study dealing with linguistics. I believe that this book is far from perfect, so I need criticism and suggestion to make it perfect.
