A Little Book of Language pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
With a language disappearing every two weeks and neologisms springing up almost daily, an understanding of the origins and currency of language has never seemed more relevant. In this charming volume, a narrative history written explicitly for a young audience, expert linguist David Crystal proves why the story of language deserves retelling. From the first words of an infant to text messaging, "A Little Book of Language" ranges widely, revealing language's myriad intricacies and quirks. In animated fashion, Crystal sheds light on the development of unique linguistic styles, the origins of obscure accents, and the search for the first written word. He discusses the plight of endangered languages, as well as successful cases of linguistic revitalization. Much more than a history, Crystal's guide looks forward to the future of language, exploring the effect of technology on our day-to-day reading, writing, and speech. Through enlightening tables, diagrams, and quizzes, as well as Crystal's avuncular and entertaining style, "A Little Book of Language" reveals the story of language to be a captivating tale for all ages.

轻松愉快有趣!
评分青少年普及版语言学概论。平易。晓畅。
评分很可爱的一本书,毫无词汇压力,适合英语水平一般者轻松阅读。读完了,给五星。幽默有趣,而且信息量广博,风格平易,这么少的词汇表达这么深广的内容,佩服。
评分很喜欢作者。书名也起得很好,语言小书,全书都紧紧围绕语言来谈,例子生动切实,没有语言学的架子,但浸润着语言学的思维。从小孩学语引入,一路都是生活中最亲切的例子。作者本身也是语言高手,词汇简单却精彩得像小说。最感动的还是最后一个Chapter,对语言学的真爱,对endangered language的关怀,对语言少数群体的关怀,都充满了人文精神呐。读来能激发读者对语言学的热爱。当然,全书例子主英文,读原版会很舒服。但愿以后能写一本基于汉语的语言小书做科普吧。
评分学语言以来看到的最好的一本有关语言的书,超五星推荐

评分正如书名《语言小书(A Little Book of Language)》那样,此书确实是本“小书”→通俗易懂、充满趣味的科普读物,而不是充满术语、理论的“大书”。适合从未了解语言学的人,书中介绍了语言的基本知识。因为是“小书”且书腰上标明是“入门课”,所以没有讲得更深入。 这本书...
评分 评分这本由英国语言学家撰写的书真的是一本「小书」,作者行文简单易懂、生动有趣,举的例子也是我们生活中的琐碎日常。而这本小书却不能「小看」,因为在这些日常的表象之下,读者可以逐步了解到,我们习以为常的语言是如何产生、发展以及我们人类是怎样学习的,除此之外,还有「...
评分整本书基本不使用大词、难词、长句、难句,适合国内初三或高一学生读,对提高英语水平大有帮助,大人也可以读此书当作消遣。 写作风格风趣幽默,逻辑清晰,比此系列另外一本:A little history of philosophy要好得多,但在语言优美方面比:A little history of the world要差些。
