Useful literature for Masterarbeit

Linguistics basics

Random book I found: Essentials of Linguistics, 2nd edition – Simple Book Publishing
Also
- (172) What are some books I can read if I want to get into studying linguistics casually? : linguistics
  - Steven Pinker’s “The Language Instinct” - allegedly really cool but not for my purposes

Essentials of Linguistics, 2nd edition

The online version¹ has cool tests at the end!

Generally: a lot of it is about languages/power, indigenous languages etc. Might be interesting for me wrt. UA/RU and colonialism

Chapter 5 / Morphology gets interesting
- 5.7 Inflectional morphology!
6: Syntax - even more interesting
- 6.2 word order
- p.264 Key grammatical terminology
- word order
- really cool and quite technical up until the end, esp. trees
1. Semantics
1. Pragmatics
- todo - all of it

1.1 What even is language? – Essentials of Linguistics, 2nd edition ↩︎
