Linguistics: Open Linguistics - Bloomsbury Academic Collections

This Collection, composed of altogether 19 reissued titles in three sub-sets from The Athlone Press, Cassell and Frances Pinter, offers a distinguished selection of titles that showcase the breadth of linguistics, spanning from language learning and the classic questions of linguistics to the challenges of teaching artificial intelligence to think and speak.

This wide-reaching sub-set with seven titles concerns itself with the classical questions of linguistics: how does language develop? How is meaning conveyed? What is language? What relation exists between language, meaning and culture?

All titles can be acquired either individually or as set. The set Open Linguistics includes:
