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. Rather than following the conventional organization of many contemporary introductions to the subject, the author of this stimulating guide begins his discussion with the oldest, 'arts' end of the subject and moves chronologically through to the newest research - the 'science' aspects. A series of short thematic chapters look in turn at such areas as the prehistory of languages and their common origins, language and evolution, language in time and space (the nature of change inherent in language), grammars and dictionaries (how systematic is language?), and phonetics. Explication of the newest discoveries pertaining to language in the brain completes the coverage of all major aspects of linguistics from a refreshing and insightful angle.

入門的話找Crystal的書看去，別看這本。
评分一套能明确区分一个候选元素是否合法的系统就是语言。很有意思的书。

评分这么小一本书我居然读了好几个星期，可见写得有多不吸引人了...不过还是有一些有趣的真知灼见的。作者在书里面反复强调abstraction，想来确实是很重要的能力，也是需要时刻谨记的assumption。
评分"The systems linguists study are abstractions from our conscious understanding of our minds and our behaviour."
