In The Infinite Gift, Yang uses language as a platform to give an overview of nearly every major branch of linguistics. He covers basic ideas and builds on these to more advanced concepts in this astoundingly concise and accessible book. One of the most well-researched introductions to linguistics I've ever read, The Infinite Gift is accurate and informative, but also immensely fun.

*first sentence is supposed to read "language acquisition" rather than just "language"
