Dixon provides a new and fundamental characterization of the nature of human languages and a comprehensive guide to their description and analysis. In three clearly written and accessible volumes, he describes how best to go about doing linguistics, the most satisfactory and profitable ways to work, and the pitfalls to avoid. In the first volume he addresses the methodology for recording, analysing, and comparing languages. He argues thatgrammatical structures and rules should be worked out inductively on the basis of evidence, explaining in detail the steps 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general 606 $aLinguistics$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $aLinguistics 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 615 0$aLinguistics$xResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aLinguistics. 676 $a410 700 $aDixon$b Robert M.
