[This book] encompasses the latest research results published by the most prominent linguists from the whole world ... The pedagogical merits make McGregor’s Linguistics: An Introduction a special publication ... I wholeheartedly recommend the book to both teachers and students of language. Personally, I am going to take advantage of all the merits this textbook offers in my classroom with students of English philology.
