Modern Schools of Linguistic Thought: A Crash Course

Rate this book
This textbook provides a clear and concise overview of the main schools of linguistic thought and scholarship from the late 18 th century to the present day, examining the key tenets and leading figures of each approach and assessing their impact on the field. Combining theory with practice, the author aims to familiarise students with the mechanisms used in analysing language structures, to acquaint them with the history of the discipline, and to demonstrate how different - sometimes competing - approaches can be combined to understand language and linguistics today. Written in an engaging and accessible manner, this textbook is an ideal primer for new students of linguistics at any level, as well as more experienced researchers seeking to understand the history of their field or the arguments and theories of other sub-disciplines.

همانطور که خود کتاب هم اذعان دارد، یک دورهٔ فشرده و مقدماتی برای آشنایی با حوزه‌ای بسیار گسترده است. بنابراین طبیعی است که بخش‌هایی از کتاب نامفهوم باشد و یا فهمشان نیاز به دانش قبلی داشته باشد. با این حال، در مجموع کتاب مناسبی برای آشنایی اولیه با مکاتب و حوزه‌های مطالعاتی مختلف زبان‌شناسی است و جامعیت خوبی دربارهٔ موضوعات متنوع دارد‌. سبک و سیاق مطالب هم بسیار منظم و طبقه‌بندی‌شده است که از این نکته بسیار لذت بردم.
ترجمهٔ کتاب در مجموع خوب بود و آشکار است که مترجم دانایی داشته، اما شدیداً نیاز به ویرایش دارد که متأسفانه مغفول مانده است.
