About this product

Product Information

What do we need to kw about language and why do we need to kw it? This book shows how viewing the world through a linguistics lens can help us to understand how we communicate with each other and why we do it in the ways we do. Above all this book is about ticing. It is about encouraging readers to pay attention to the language that surrounds them. The book addresses fundamental linguistic questions such as: Where do people's beliefs about language come from? Who decides what language we should speak? How do we choose the best way to express what we mean? It introduces a set of practical tools for language analysis and, using examples of authentic communicative activity including overheard conversations, Facebook posts and public anuncements, shows how this kind of analysis works and what it can tell us about social interaction. Exploring language and language use from a social, intercultural and multilingual perspective, the authors demonstrate the relevance of linguistics in understanding day-to-day interaction. This book will help readers t only to become informed, active observers of language for its own sake, but also to be able to take on and challenge some of the misconceptions, assumptions and prejudices that so often underlie public discussion of language issues.

    Bought quite a few items from this seller and they so far haven't let me down, always good communication, item always as described, well packaged and always arrives a day or two early. Well priced and condition as described from a very honest seller. Great little film this, I'm a big Eva Green fan so I've been wanting to see this film for a while now and its proven hard to get here in the UK. As always Rarewaves comes up with the goods and gets you those hard to get titles and rare editions.
