What is a language? Many professionals have dedicated years, even generations, to exploring the interesting question which is with incredable vastness. Nowadays, language science evolves and improves, in which field we are amazed at how wonderful and complicated what we are using as a tool to mommunicate one another every day really is. And that's the reason why I have come to love linguistic, which also gives me a new aspect to know a language, especially English, in a relatively more logical and panoramic way.
As an American writer, Gertrude Stein, once stated, "I really do not know that anything has ever been more exciting than diagramming sentences." Indeed, using languages is artistic and interesting, and so is analysing them. In diagramming sentences, we might see certain clues that how God manipulated the oringinal source of languages to confuse people at the Tower of Babel thousands of years ago. Or at least, we could know how confusing it has come to be, an artistic somehow a little humorous way of divinity.
However, most linguistic textbooks are tough to read for there are so many terms and closed and strict descriptive definitions, which are not easily comprehensible to normal people who are not expertised in related fields. Here I would like to recommand a best buy as well as the best elixir for biginners longing to get closer to linguistic knowledge but easily becoming fretful about its Phariseean style. In addition, this book has also won highly approval and identification by Dr. Chris Ledt Lin, who was once also favored by this book:
An Intrduction to Language, eighth edition, by Victioria Fromkin, Robert Rodman, and Nina Hyams
Give it a try right now, and you will know why Dr. Lin has so many other epithets...
