WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!! *parties hard for Harry Potter reference in an academic text*
What kind of linguistics are you studying? Is it just intro with a lot of technical stuff or is a fun topic? I took a linguistics class next semester where we learned about all the languages spoken in America and bilinugal issues, etc...
Good luck studying for finals!

Yeah, it's just intro. to linguistics with A LOT of technical stuff, but still very interesting. I really wanted to take a class focused on IPA next quarter, but of course I can't get into it. I was considering taking a linguistics class in German next quarter, though. Except I want to have this weezy old man professor who hardly knows what he's doing so I'm taking Survey of German Culture instead.

see what I'd like to know is how old is that book?

They publish a new edition every year (I believe), so it's actually from 2007. The next best question, then, would be: When did they add this into the textbook? and for that I don't have an answer.
