In this introductory-level linguistics text, Steven E. Weisler and Slavko                  Milekic develop a theoretically motivated analysis of language with an emphasis on                  grammar construction and argumentation. They introduce the theory of language,                  sounds, words, sentences, and meaning, as well as language and the brain.The text is                  available either in hard-copy form or as a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM presents the text in a                  dynamic digital learning environment, engaging the user in simulations,                  demonstrations, hypothesis testing, and theory construction while providing a                  systematic introduction to linguistic theory. The electronic edition also                  incorporates the Tree Builder tool for construction and evaluation of phonological,                  metrical, and syntactic analysis of trees, as well as a word processor, various                  annotation mechanisms (for example, the ability to create and exchange voice and                  text memos), import/export capabilities that allow the exchange of different types                  of information, and an extensive series of interviews with such prominent figures as                  David Caplan, Noam Chomsky, Lyn Frazier, John Rickford, Tom Roeper, Ivan Sag, and                  Tom Wasow.
