Books
- Victoria Fromkin and Robert Rodman: An Introduction to Language (a widely-used undergraduate textbook, with chapters on different areas of linguistics and exercises at the end which are easier than the Advanced level questions, but testing knowledge of language as opposed to thinking skills; plus answers at the back!)
- Mark Baker: The Atoms of Language (aimed at non-specialists, with lots of talk of paradoxes and cracking codes, and introducing principles of linguistic analysis in the later chapters by comparing syntactic parameters to the periodic table).
- Richard Hudson: Invitation to Linguistics (accessible, clear, and with a focus on linguistic puzzles).
- David J. Peterson β The Art of Language Invention β Peterson is a βconlangerβ β he constructs languages for film & TV β including Dothraki & Valyrian for Game of Thrones. He is also a trained linguist and his book takes a noob to linguistics through the basics (phonology, semantics, morphology & syntax etc.) in a very accessible and a fun way.
- Guy Deutscherβs popular linguistics books are great too: Through the Looking Glass Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages (the title is misleading β it is much more nuanced, based on recent linguistic relativity research presented in an accessible manner)
- The Power of Babel A Natural History of Language
- Red Book and The Green Book by Dragomir Radev
- Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw
