O knihe

This book provides an accessible and readable overview of linguistic research.
The text uses pedagogical tools such as analogies, metaphors, and graphic organizers
to clarify the meaning of complex linguistic concepts. To ensure that readers
develop a firm and lasting grasp of new ideas, the book illustrates
theoretical concepts with language samples (such as popular song lyrics or
famous sayings) that are likely to be familiar to the reader. The use of such recognizable
language material is intended to help students see the language in
their own environment as worth observing and analyzing.
Above all, the book is meant to help future teachers in the classroom. This goal
largely determines the book's scope. The text provides an overview of those studies
that have especially significant implications for classroom practice. For
instance, the chapter on neurolinguistics covers research into the gestures that accompany speech, and the chapter
on semantics places special emphasis on discussing the role of conceptual metaphors in cognition. Each of
the book's eleven chapters concludes with a section entitled "Implications for Instruction." These sections
engage to reader in exploring the practical significance of linguistic research.
