Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Exploring Linguistic Science introduces students to the basic principles of complexity theory and then applies these principles to the scientific study of language. It demonstrates how, at every level of linguistic study, we find evidence of language as a complex system. Designed for undergraduate courses in language and linguistics, this essential textbook brings cutting-edge concepts to bear on the traditional components of general introductions to the study of language, such as phonetics, morphology and grammar. The authors maintain a narrative thread throughout the book of 'interaction and emergence', both of which are key terms from the study of complex systems, a new science currently useful in physics, genetics, evolutionary biology, and economics, but also a perfect fit for the humanities. The application of complexity to language highlights the fact that language is an ever-changing, ever-varied product of human behavior. Exploring Linguistic Science is a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics that brings the cutting-edge concept of complexity theory to bear on the traditional components of introductory courses. It meets the demand for new approaches to the study of language, and does so in a way that is not gimmicky or unnecessarily complicated. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781108424806
