English Language by Jonathan Culpeper
What is the English language like, why is it like that and what do we need to know in order to study it? This wide-ranging and research-led introductory textbook provides students with the grounding in linguistics necessary to investigate these questions for themselves.
'This volume proves that it is still possible to make a difference in a world flooded by introductory textbooks - giving the English language in all its fascinating richness centre stage! Chapters covering everything one would expect and much beyond - expertly selected, artfully arranged, carefully argued and amply illustratedWritten in an accessible style that makes for an attractive read, this will be a most useful companion for any student, undergraduate or graduate, of English and the linguistics of English!' Bernd Kortmann, University of Freiburg, Germany 'This is a rare beast - a comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date survey of English Language and Linguistics that will provide students and researchers alike with a rich context for their work.' - Michael Hoey, University of Liverpool, UK
