The fundamental linguistic problems and technical terms are discussed and illustrated by examples from different languages; the authors have attached particular importance to a clear and vivid style. Numerous examples from European as well as non-European languages are used to illustrate the techniques and methods of linguistic description. More than 100 exercises help the reader gain experience in dealing with linguistic data.
