An Introduction to Language Files
Since its inception almost forty years ago, Language Files has grown from a collection of materials designed simply as a supplement for undergraduate courses into a full-fledged introductory textbook. The scope of the text makes it suitable for use in a wide range of courses, while its unique organization into instructor-friendly files allows for tremendous flexibility in course design.
Language Files was originally the idea of Arnold Zwicky, who was among its first authors. Since the first edition, many editors have contributed to the development of Language Files ; the current edition is the result of this cumulative effort.
Changes in the Current Edition
In this edition, we have revised, clarified, and updated many of the existing files and the accompanying exercises. We have also substantially updated the accompanying online resources, and we have added icons next to the text to inform the reader of particular places where additional resources are available on our website. The speaker icon 
, video icon 
, and link icon 
indicate that sound files, video files, and relevant URLs can be found at
http://linguistics.osu.edu/research/pubs/lang-files/sounds,
http://linguistics.osu.edu/research/pubs/lang-files/videos, and
http://linguistics.osu.edu/research/pubs/lang-files/links, respectively.
The cartoons accompanying each file have also been replaced with original artwork by Julia Porter Papke.
In addition to these global changes, the following chapters have undergone significant revision or changes.
: Introduction
Introducing the Study of Language now includes a section providing helpful hints on how to use this book.
Other (Non-Essential) Aspects of Knowing a Language has been renamed and revised to clarify the relationship of writing and prescriptive grammar to the study of language. The discussion of writing has also been updated to reflect the prevalence of electronic communication, and the discussion of prescriptive grammar has been revised to clarify the distinction between prescriptive and descriptive grammars, among other things.
