An introduction to all the key areas of language and linguistics, this is the useful guide to this core subject. Written in a simple style, with all technical concepts fully explained, it provides 'discussion points' to generate debate and involves readers in collecting and analysing their own data.
Whilst maintaining the accessibility for the beginner, the level of this second edition has been raised by the addition of much more detail, a greater focus on theories and controversies, and a clearer route to key works in the field. History of English:
examines the history of the English language in order to explain the English that is used today
introduces key linguistic concepts
provides 'discussion points' to generate debate
involves readers in collecting and analyzing their own data
contains a 'mini-corpus' of texts, used for exercises and to illustrate points raised in the commentary.
Revised throughout, this updated edition contains a new internet resource section and an updated further reading section, to help readers take their study further.
