Culicover and Elizabeth V. Hume, systematically explores all the aspects of language central to second language learning: the sounds of language, the different grammatical structures, the social functions of communication, and the psychology of language learning and use.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlike books specific to one single language, \u003ci\u003eBasics of Language \u003c\/i\u003ewill help students of \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e languages.

Language instructors will find the approach provocative, and the book will stimulate many new and effective ideas for teaching.
