A very readable introduction to Linguistics, though the phonetics escape me. Whetted my appetite to learn more about language and how it has grown from its original roots.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0192801481, Paperback)

Linguistics falls in the gap between arts and science, on the edges of which the most fascinating discoveries and the most important problems are found. Beginning at the 'arts' end of the subject with the common origins of languages, and finishing at the 'science' end with the newest discoveries regarding language in the brain, this stimulating guide covers all the major aspects of linguistics from a refreshing and insightful angle.
