An Introduction to English Language

A breath of fresh air for students and teachers of English and introductory linguistics, this major new textbook is carefully designed as a coursebook for group or individual study. An Introduction to English Language presupposes no prior knowledge of the sounds, words, sentences and meanings of English. Believing that the best way to learn is through listening and doing, the authors have packed this lively book full of worked examples and exercises drawn from a range of discourses to consolidate the student's knowledge, competence and enjoyment of the subject.
