Not your average dry textbook

Language and Learning is a well-written college level reading textbook. Piper is not the average dry and boring academic author. The text is quite readable.

Awesome stuff....

This bool really helped my with my class at the University of the Pacific for Dr. Longmire. While the class was really boring, the book helped me understand everything i needed to know for thethe final. Lots of terminology and lots of good examples. If you want to learn about language this is your guide to success.
