Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-24 00:00:00 Brian Wallos Really good introduction to linguistics within a Cognitive Linguistics framework. It is important to realize that this is a more general introduction to linguistics and not an introduction to Cognitive Linguistics specifically. Chapters are really well put together with plenty of well thought illustrative examples. I will admit that I only scanned the exercises at the end of each chapter but they look well worth the time. I have read other introductions to linguistics so much of the material was relatively familiar. With that said, I was surprised at how similar it was to other non-cognitive linguistic materials. Perhaps more could have been done to explicitly carve out the space this work is occupying within the field, but I honestly don't know the field well enough to say if this was necessary. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an introduction to linguistics.
