Over the years, the scientific study of language has developed into a highly technical field with a language that makes it inaccessible to humanists and others with an interest in words and how we use them. Chongwon Park's Linguistics for Humanists offers a summary of this field in terms that make it available to readers with humanities backgrounds. This book should be of special interest to creative writers, those in the field of composition and rhetoric, and anyone who wants to bring linguistic concepts to the analysis of texts.
