Language is more than sound and syntax—it is thought made visible, and meaning made shareable. For students preparing for the UGC NET English examination, the study of linguistics often feels like learning a new language within a language: dense in terminology, abstract in theory, and scattered across various resources. This book was born out of that very struggle.
Language and Linguistics: A Comprehensive Guide for UGC NET English is not just another textbook—it is a carefully designed map through a maze that many aspirants find overwhelming. The chapters have been curated after a rigorous study of over ten years of UGC NET English question papers. Every topic selected, every section structured, is in response to the specific patterns, terminologies, and conceptual frameworks that appear in the exam.
Whether you are a beginner stepping into this subject for the first time, a postgraduate student looking to consolidate your foundation, or an advanced learner preparing for final-stage revision, this book welcomes you at every level. It speaks your language while guiding you through the language of linguistics.
The inspiration for this book came from students themselves—their confusion, their questions, and their requests for a book that understood their exam journey. As a teacher and writer, I took it as my responsibility to build a bridge between complex linguistic theories and practical exam readiness.
