Book Description

This book is about the core areas of theoretical linguistics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics), supplemented with discussion of psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic findings. It is suitable for any beginning learner of linguistics but is primarily aimed at the Canadian learner, focusing on Canadian English for learning phonetic transcription, and discussing the status of Indigenous languages in Canada.

Drawing on best practices for instructional design, this book is suitable for blended classes, traditional lecture classes, and for self-directed learning. No prior knowledge of linguistics is required.
