"Language: Its Structure And Use, International Edition" is one of the best-selling introductory linguistics textbooks because it treats language as both a system (structure) and a social tool (use) - an approach that serves students in many disciplines, especially linguistics, English, speech communications, and education. Features such as 'What Do You Think' and 'Try It Yourself' prompt students to consider language in daily life and to begin thinking about analysis of language. The variety of exercises is suitable for many purposes, including a section in every chapter 'Especially for Educators and Future Teachers.' Based on sound scholarship and framed in a clear, friendly presentation, "Language: Its Structure And Use, International Edition", helps students understand the uniquely human trait of language.
