Review: Not bad for beginners! - So I'm studying this at uni soon, and i found this is a great introductory resource for those of us looking to explore the fascinating field of linguistics. The book provides a clear and accessible overview of key linguistic concepts and terminology, making it suitable for beginners. Its Pros: Accessibility: The book is written in a user-friendly style, making complex linguistic concepts easy to understand for those new to the subject. Comprehensive Coverage: It covers a wide range of linguistic topics, from phonetics and syntax to semantics and sociolinguistics, providing readers with a well-rounded introduction to the field. Practical Examples: The inclusion of real-world examples and case studies helps readers apply linguistic concepts to everyday language situations. Reference Material: It serves as a handy reference guide, allowing readers to revisit topics and terminology as needed. Its Cons: Simplification: To maintain accessibility, some complex linguistic theories and debates may be oversimplified, potentially leaving advanced learners wanting more depth. Limited Depth: While it covers many linguistic subfields, it doesn't delve deeply into any one area, which might be disappointing for those seeking in-depth knowledge. Updates: Linguistics is a rapidly evolving field, and the book's information may not be up-to-date with the latest research and developments in the field, depending on its publication date. In conclusion, it's a valuable starting point for people interested in linguistics, providing a solid foundation for further exploration. However, for those looking for more advanced or specialized information, additional resources may be necessary. Review: Fascinating insight to language - Some years ago, our holiday guide in Italy told us that she had a degree in linguistics and at that point, we did not even know what that meant. During the restricted activity during the pandemic, we decided to find out more and the Dummies book was the result. Very interesting and informative without boring the backside of us or being so technical that it was confusing. Great book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 210,190 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3,561 in Words, Language & Grammar (Books) 5,738 in School Education & Teaching 12,202 in Science & Nature Education (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (248) | | Dimensions | 18.8 x 2.54 x 23.37 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1118091698 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1118091692 | | Item weight | 567 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | 10 Feb. 2012 | | Publisher | For Dummies | ## Images ![Linguistics For Dummies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81d0Yj08KrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad for beginners! *by K***H on 16 September 2023* So I'm studying this at uni soon, and i found this is a great introductory resource for those of us looking to explore the fascinating field of linguistics.

During the restricted activity during the pandemic, we decided to find out more and the Dummies book was the result.

Great book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, practical introduction *by E***S on 29 July 2013* Great for anyone wanting a base for linguistics.....I wish I had bought this earlier! I would recommend this for anyone prior to studying module U214 with the OU. ## Frequently Bought Together - Linguistics For Dummies - Phonetics For Dummies - Linguistics: A Complete Introduction (Teach Yourself) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/54978069-linguistics-for-dummies](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/54978069-linguistics-for-dummies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
