Writing: the ABCs of language. • Reflects the study of linguistics in Australia. • Chapter 4, on syntax, has been substantially refocussed and rewritten to provide a more basic introduction to parts of speech and sentence structure. • Chapter 5, on semantics and pragmatics, includes an expanded and modernised section on pragmatics, and is more finely structured so that challenging topics are easier to digest. • Chapter 7, on phonology, has been rearranged to better reinforce the concepts of phoneme and allophone, to highlight important allophonic processes, and to improve clarity around phonemic analysis, phonotactics and morphology. • Chapter 9 keeps abreast of the latest developments in computer processing of language, introducing emerging new fields such as ‘culturomics’ and ‘twitterology’ that show the power of computers applied to language. • Each chapter now starts with a list of learning objectives that signposts key concepts and describes what you should know or be able to do after reading the material.

• To help readers learn linguistic terminology, key terms are defined in the margins the first time they are used. • The end-of-chapter exercises include more research-oriented exercises to encourage deep learning and independent discovery.
