Features: This book, Fifteen Lectures on Linguistics, is part of the "General Education Series for University Quality Education" published by Peking University Press, developed in collaboration with scholars from dozens of key universities across the country. It is also part of the "Famous Scholars' General Education Lecture Series." The target audience includes all undergraduate and college students, as well as a broad range of social readers with high school-level education or higher. Therefore, the content is relatively accessible, with carefully selected topics and language that aims to be easy to understand, avoiding or minimizing the use of professional terms and symbols. On the other hand, the book also includes new research findings and cutting-edge information, while remaining accessible yet profound, making it suitable as an introductory text and basic reference for students majoring in linguistics. As a comprehensive and foundational textbook, the book naturally draws on existing research and references, rather than being entirely original or novel. The author's role is primarily to appropriately select and present the material in a clear manner.
