An Introduction to English Language by Koenraad Kuiper

An Introduction to English Language by Koenraad Kuiper

This popular introductory textbook is written in a lively and interactive style, based around three core topics of linguistic study: word, sound and sentence. The third edition has been fully revised and now has a multimedia companion website containing quizzes, audio clips and Powerpoint movie lectures to aid study.

Praise for previous editions: "A book I would recommend to Departments of English world-wideKuiper and Allan's book...deals with the bare bones of English structure - its sound system, its lexicon and its syntactic structure. The book...focuses practically and squarely on the language at hand, and it eschews the obfuscation of current linguistic squabbles and the arcanity of some of those representations. That said, however, it does no disservice whatsoever to the sophistication and findings of modern linguistic science." - Professor Dennis Preston, Michigan State University, USA "Students will appreciate the detailed but clear discussion of introductory material on the structure of English and will also find the extensive, carefully graded exercises exceptionally helpful." - David Deterding, University of Brunei, Darrussalam
