Publication history
Table of contents
This is a book that tries to improve understanding between two competing approaches to the study of language, and as such it deserves the sympathy of the linguistic public. It offers a guided tour of the linguistic zoo, as it were – a brief overview of salient characteristics of (selected varieties of) formal and functional linguistics. The book will appeal to students of neighbouring fields, including students of different languages – or people who have heard about linguistics and would like to know a little about the main approaches to the study of language.
