Linguistics: An Introduction to Language and Communication
Murphy’s Law therefore dictated that the photo I took of it before leaving it on the donation shelf in front of Feds Used Books would be badly out of focus. Feds wouldn’t buy it because it’s the third edition, whereas the current edition is the fifth.
I’m obsessive-compulsive when it comes to keeping my books in good condition. The fact that there is tape on the cover shows just how much use the book has seen.
I had bought the book because I was learning a number of languages and wanted a more abstract understanding of the nature of language itself. It became a very handy reference when I started to experiment with parsers and search engines for different languages. I didn’t want to part with it, but it doesn’t seem likely that I will be needing it in the future. I hope that it has found a good home, where it will be read or flipped through fondly.
