{"product_id":"exploring-language-structure-thomas-payne-9780521855426","title":"Exploring Language Structure","description":"Designed for those beginning to study linguistics, this is a lively introduction to two key aspects of the structure of language: syntax (the structure of sentences) and morphology (the structure of words). It shows students in a step-by-step fashion how to analyze the syntax and morphology of any language, by clearly describing the basic methods and techniques, and providing almost 100 practical exercises based on data from a rich variety of the world's languages. Written in an engaging style and complete with a comprehensive glossary, Exploring Language Structure explains linguistic concepts by using clear analogies from everyday life. It introduces a range of essential topics in syntax and morphology, such as rules, categories, word classes, grammatical relations, multi-clause constructions and typology. Providing a solid foundation in morphology and syntax, this is the perfect introductory text for beginning students, and will fully prepare them for more advanced courses in linguistic analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Payne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052185542X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521855426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.01h x 6.85w x 1.13d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 277","brand":"Thomas Payne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44227521773823,"sku":"9780521855426","price":147.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42db8e9e-470a-4fca-9ed9-ea90eeefd4b7.jpg?v=1692809153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exploring-language-structure-thomas-payne-9780521855426","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
