Über den Autor
Abby Kaplan is a member of the Murray Park Church of Christ. She lives in Salt Lake City with her husband and two sons.
Zusammenfassung
This textbook explores popular questions about language. Do women talk more than men? Does texting make us stupid? Accessibly written and drawing on real experiments, it trains students to become informed consumers of social science research. A broad range of topics makes the book appropriate for non-technical introductory linguistics courses.
