Written especially for nonlinguistic majors, the book gives insight into the meaning, value, and function of language within a culture and into the ways language behavior varies and changes. Each chapter of the book discusses what it means to be a speaker of a particular language, and puts the language in context among the languages of the world.  The book explores how people know their languages—know them as grammatical systems and know them as part of a cultural fabric. The authors discuss the ways speakers, as opposed to linguists, view a language. They consider what one must know in order to be a good speaker of a particular language; the constraints placed on communication by the culture in which it takes place; how social relationships influence language; and how the use of language can, in turn, influence social relationships.  Languages and Their Speakers will be of interest to students of linguistics, anthropology, and those concerned about the use of language in its cultural context.  This volume is complemented by a second volume entitled Languages and Their Status, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007990464785,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007993479441,"sku":"NIN9780812212501","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53264592961809,"sku":"CIN0812212509A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0812212509.jpg?v=1752317063"},{"product_id":"language-typology-and-syntactic-description-volume-1-clause-structure-book-timothy-shopen-9780521588577","title":"Language Typology and Syntactic Description: Volume 1, Clause Structure","description":"This unique three-volume survey brings together a team of leading scholars to explore the syntactic and morphological structures of the world's languages.
