Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, Yule presents information in bite-sized sections, clearly explaining the major concepts in linguistics through all the key elements of language. This sixth edition has been revised and updated throughout, with substantial changes made to the chapters on phonetics, grammar and syntax, and eighty new study questions. To increase student engagement and to foster problem-solving and critical thinking skills, the book also includes twenty new tasks. An expanded and revised online study guide provides students with further resources, including answers and tutorials for all tasks, while encouraging lively and proactive learning. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use introduction to the study of language. Review: great content, needs better shipping material - The book itself is very informative and interesting. The shipped item was in less than stellar condition (soft cover book in paper shipping envelope + potentially rough transport handling). Replaced with one in even worse shape. desertcart good about replacement, though. Review: Excellent introductory book about language/linguistics - This book is a very well-written, clear, and reasonably complete introduction to the elements of human language and introductory topics of linguistics. It would serve well as an introductory textbook for non-Linguistics majors, foreign language majors, and education majors who may be required to take a language study course. It could also serve in the same capacity for high school courses that fit a college-bound curriculum. In all cases, it is a pleasant read for anyone interested in the story of human languages. As a textbook, it is reasonably-priced and compact. There is really little else in this niche that can compare to this textbook. The standard for a more rigorous introduction to linguistics study probably remains the Fromkin editions, and they are considerably more expensive. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #828,108 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #322 in Linguistics (Books) #1,070 in Economics (Books) #1,123 in Linguistics Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 597 Reviews | ## Images ![The Study of Language - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DaJcXA0QL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great content, needs better shipping material *by K***E on February 28, 2025* The book itself is very informative and interesting.

Amazon good about replacement, though. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent introductory book about language/linguistics *by C***T on November 26, 2018* This book is a very well-written, clear, and reasonably complete introduction to the elements of human language and introductory topics of linguistics.

I like the Kindle edition because it is easy to search for a given passage and copy phrases to slides when explaining homework. Also, the Kindle edition makes it easy to look up words you don't understand. As an instructor, I wish the publisher would provide an answer key (for instructors only). ## Frequently Bought Together - The Study of Language - How Languages are Learned 4e (Oxford Handbooks for Language Teachers) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/38839024-the-study-of-language](https://www.desertcart.be/products/38839024-the-study-of-language) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
