From a practical side, linguistics can provide a theoretical basis for vari
38、ety of practical applications. To name a few, these applications include the treatment of language disorders such as aphasia or reading problems the planning of “language arts“ curricula in the schools, the fight against illiterarcy in many nations of tile world, the development of automatic, comput
39、er-generated speech productional recognition, the learning of foreign languages, and the simplification of legal language. Philosophical interests have also spurred language study, because from earliest times language has been considered a mirror of the mind.For these reasons both the first and seco
40、nd editions of this text were directed toward students of many disciplines. This hankis used in courses for nonlinguisties as well as linguistics students, for major in computer science and English, in speech pathology and anthropology, in communications studies and philosophy.

42、 lesson one, “Tile Nature of Human language,“ is concerned with questions such as: What is language? What is a grammar?

43、al Aspects of language,“ Lesson 2 discusses speech sounds or phonetics and it includes an expanded section on machines that “talk“ and “understand.“ Lesson g on phonology demonstrates how sounds form pattens. Lesson 5 shows that written forms of language arose very late in the history of human langu
44、age. Lesson 4,6, and 7 discuss other grammatical aspects of language-how words are formed (morphology);what words, phrases, and sentences mean (semantics); and how words are put together to form sentences syntax. These lessons have been substantially revised since the second edition. Although a form
45、al descrptive apparatus is still included, it receives less emphasis; distinction between phonetic and phonemic segments and phonological and morphophonemic rules are clarified ;and the section on pragmatics is enlarged.Lessons 8 and 9 of Part Three, “Social Aspects of Language,“ considering languag

Are some languages or dialects superior to others? Is there any hope for a universal language? Can language be “o
47、bscene“ or “sexist“?Part Four, “The Biological Aspects of Language,“ includes Lesson 10 on child language, Lesson 11 on animal communication systems, and lesson 12 on brain mechanisms underlying language knowledge and use. These lessons have been expanded considerably. The sign language of the deaf, especially AMESLAN (American Sign Language), are discussed in greater detail. The newest findings on whether C
