This newly-expanded book of ABCs for our youngest linguists introduces an alphabet of phonetic and phonological concepts through rhyming couplets. How did we expand a book of ABCs? By adding four new characters from the IPA, of course! Linguists young and old will be charmed by this educational and slightly irreverent take on linguistics, written by the founder of Cascadilla Press for his son. We guarantee zero footnotes or citations. Note: "An ABC for Baby Linguists" is not tear-proof, and should not be ingested. Please supervise your baby linguists as they learn.
