- Linguist Yule takes on the questions of the first-time student, covering the origins of language, animals and human language, the development of writing, the sounds and sound patterns of language, words and word formation, morphology, grammar in phrases and sentences, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, language and the brain, first and second language acquisition, body language, language history and change, regional variation and language within culture. Yule has completely updated this undergraduate text and added new sections on language and culture, African American vernacular English, corpus linguistics, gender, gestures, slang, social markets, and speech accommodation.
