An Introduction to English Language by Koenraad Kuiper
This coursebook for students and teachers of English and introductory linguistics is packed with worked examples and exercises which increase in difficulty, drawn from a range of discourses to consolidate the student's knowledge, competence and enjoyment of the subject.
Review of the first edition: '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
