Customer Reviews

Fine introduction

This book is geared toward freshmen in Linguistics, and a very a good one. But there are better alternatives at the same level. Paul Frommer is the author of the artifical language Nav'i, from the movie Avatar. From this book, I suppose that that language must be well designed and one of great expressiveness. After all, I'm happy with this book that teaches so well the basics.

Languages workbook

Looking at Languages Workbook was quite good and organized. Really benefited my son who is currently taking a linguistics course in college. The dealer we bought from shipped via postal mail so it was a bit slow using Media Mail to Hawaii but I did not choose a faster way so I guess this was my fault. Dealer advertised workbook as new. It was relatively new, no marks or mark-ups inside but the outside was a tad beat up like it had been on the shelf for a while. Overall a good deal and good price.
