از یکی از دوستان توی گودریدز خواستم یه کتاب برای شروع زبان‌شناسی بهم معرفی کنه و این رو بهم معرفی کرد。 دومین کتابی‌یه که به زبون انگلیسی خوندم و خوش‌بختانه نثرش برام ساده بود。 کتاب به‌طور مختصر درباره‌ی شاخه‌های مختلف زبان‌شناسی حرف می‌زنه（البته مطمئن نیستم از تمام شاخه‌ها حرف زده باشه。）。 آخر هرفصل هم تمرینات و رفرنس‌های مختلفی از همون فصل می‌آره。فکر می‌کنم برای شروع و زمینه‌سازی و این‌که بفهمید چه شاخه‌ای چه جذابیت‌هایی براتون داره خیلی مناسب باشه。

كتاب مفيد جداً للمبتدئين في مجال اللسانيات 。。。 الكتاب بسيط وغير معقد ومع ذلك يعد ذو قيمة علمية عالية في مجاله 。。。 وترجمة الدكتور حمزة المزيني كانت جيدة رغم استخدام مصطلحات غير متعارفة في كتب اللسانيات العربية وهذا ما قد يحدث تشتيتاً للقارئ 。。。 فمثلاً مصطلح pragmatics الذي يعرف في اللغة العربية ب（التداولية） أو （التداوليات） يترجمه الدكتور المزيني بلفظة （الذريعيات） وهو مصطلح أقل شيوعاً ، عدا ذلك فالترجمة مقبولة。

واقعا این کتاب همونجور که ادعا داره برای مخاطب تازه‌وارد به حوزه زبان‌شناسی نوشته شده و اگه مطلقا اطلاعاتی در مورد زبان‌شناسی ندارید، می‌تونه قدم اول خوبی باشه براتون。کتاب فصل فصله و در انتهای هر فصل تعدادی سوال برای بحث بیشتر و تعدادی تمرین قرار داده شده که می‌تونید با انجام دادنشون درکتون از فصل رو بسنجید و عمق بدید بهش。البته بهتون توصیه می‌کنم به همین کتاب بسنده نکنید و آثار دیگه‌ای رو بعدا بخونید حتما اما اگه قصد شروع دارید می‌تونه شروع خوبی باشه。

Really good intro to linguistics。 Phonology units are quite good。 As it's only an intro text， don't expect book length treatment of individual topics。 Nevertheless， excellent crash course。 Humor seeded throughout。Also， it has extensive study questions and tasks for each chapter。 This helps readers to wrestle with issues or just reinforce important ideas。 Online notes a bonus。 Really good intro to linguistics。 Phonology units are quite good。 As it's only an intro text， don't expect book length treatment of individual topics。 Nevertheless， excellent crash course。 Humor seeded throughout。Also， it has extensive study questions and tasks for each chapter。 This helps readers to wrestle with issues or just reinforce important ideas。 Online notes a bonus。 。。。more

This is one of the friendliest textbooks that I have ever read。 It doesn't even read like a textbook; it reads like an exciting guide to the wonders of language。 There are even follow-up questions at the end of each chapter to test and expand your knowledge， and those questions are actually fun！I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start learning linguistics。 This is one of the friendliest textbooks that I have ever read。 It doesn't even read like a textbook; it reads like an exciting guide to the wonders of language。 There are even follow-up questions at the end of each chapter to test and expand your knowledge， and those questions are actually fun！I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start learning linguistics。 。。。more

Great introduction to linguistics。 Short enough sections to power through and very clear， with examples of each linguistic phenomenon that spark interest。 I only wish the textbook was more hands-on with exercises peppered into the sections instead of at the end。 Those were too easy to ignore。

این کتاب رو پسندیدم، هرچند که به دلایلی خیلی طول کشید تا تمومش کنم。 یادمه دوستام که اینو به‌عنوان کتاب درسی خوندن ازش نفرت داشتن اما من چون تفننی خوندم دوستش داشتم。 مطالبش خیلی آسان و قابل فهم بود و اطلاعات ساده و ابتدایی اما مهم برای آشنایی با زبان‌شناسی رو ارائه می‌داد。 در کل دوستش داشتم。

A decent introduction to linguistics。 It covers a wide range of topics， and is great for whetting your appetite。 After this book， you will have the necessary knowledge to tackle more advanced areas。Unfortunately for me， this is not exactly what I was looking for。 I was looking for something more advanced， I wanted a bit more detail in the main areas of linguistics （like morphology）。 I feel like I didn't get enough out of this。While the later chapters are intriguing， the first few ones are not th A decent introduction to linguistics。 It covers a wide range of topics， and is great for whetting your appetite。 After this book， you will have the necessary knowledge to tackle more advanced areas。Unfortunately for me， this is not exactly what I was looking for。 I was looking for something more advanced， I wanted a bit more detail in the main areas of linguistics （like morphology）。 I feel like I didn't get enough out of this。While the later chapters are intriguing， the first few ones are not that useful for more advanced students。 Still， this is a great start to anyone's linguistic journey！ 。。。more

Learning the concepts of linguistics was a very arduous， headache-inducing process， but it was super interesting in learning about how language is really constructed。Yule’s textbook was especially a life-saver for the course I took as it was clear， precise， and gave great examples of the concepts explored。If you take a Linguistics course and find yourself struggling， definitely pick up this book！
