Does anyone have a linguistics reading chart or just a list of books you recommend on linguistics. Looking for books that explain>How grammar(case systems, declensions, etc) originates>history of PIE language family>What is going on in the brain when learning a languageand anything else to do with linguistics.

Why is this board so retarded, I just want some linguistics books. I looked into it myself and found for PIE:>Indo-European Language and Culture: An Introduction — Benjamin W. Fortson IVFor Grammar:>Grammaticalization — Paul J. Hopper
>>25639909WITTGENSTEIN PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS;WITTGENSTEIN BLUE AND BROWN BOOKS;WITTGENSTEIN PHILOSOPHICAL GRAMMAR.THIS CONTAINS ALL YOU COULD WANT TO "KNOW" ABOUT LANGUAGE BECAUSE TEACHING YOU WHAT IT IS YOU WANT TO KNOW (ABOUT LANGUAGE).
>>25639909I think I've seen one before but couldn't find it. This is a historical linguistics pick. Hit up the Classics general for further suggestions, and look into language family subgroups for specialization.

>>25640080I have used this book to teach and I know Benjamin - solid stuff. I can also recommend any of the introductory books from Donald Ringe, Lyle Campbell, Antoine Meillet (if you know French), and Hans Henrich Hock.
>>25639909Not a book about linguistics per se, but The Search for the Perfect Language by Umberto Eco is about language in general and really has an effect on how you look at it. I think anyone with the smallest interest in linguistics or just language in general can get a kick out of it. It's absolutely fascinating and solidified my interest in these subjects.
