Features: The target readers of this book are all college and university students, as well as a broad audience of social readers with high school or higher education. Therefore, the content is relatively simple, and the topics are appropriately selected. The language is designed to be easy to understand, avoiding or not directly using professional terms and symbols. On the other hand, the book also includes some new research findings and relatively cutting-edge information. Although it is introductory, it maintains depth, making it suitable as a basic reading and reference manual for undergraduate students of linguistics. As a foundational and common-sense textbook with a wide coverage, the main content of the book cannot all be the author's own work or entirely new, but it certainly needs to compile existing research findings and refer to necessary literature. The author's role is primarily to make appropriate selections and present the content in a suitable manner.
