"This unique collection features in-depth material on the core areas of introductory linguistics; an innovative format that allows instructors to determine easily the order of topics to be covered; practice exercises and problems, with explanatory answers provided for a selected number; and an instructor's manual that includes information about the use of the files, answers to problems, and suggested answers to selected discussion questions." "The 7th edition features new or revised material on semantics, Ebonics, language and gender, and machine translation.
