Produktinformationen zu „Introducing English Language “
This textbook will be the foundational book in the successful Routledge English Language Introductions series. While standing as a sampler for the other volumes in the series as a whole, The English Language will be a resource book in the RELI model in its own right. It offers comprehensive coverage of the key aspects of the English language (such as meaning and structure), as well as providing an introduction to key disciplines of linguistics (historical, social and psycholinguistics) and also key areas in language study (such as language acquisition, standardisation and the globalisation of English). Adopting the usual flexible RELI structure, the four sections offer introductions, development and exploration of all the topics covered plus the classic readings in each area to extend knowledge further. With a wealth of real texts throughout and supported by a companion website, this book will be a distinctive text and essential resource for all introductory language and linguistics courses.

Rezension zu „Introducing English Language “
'In this exciting new textbook, Louise Mullany and Peter Stockwell have provided a fresh and imaginative set of alternatives for teaching and learning a huge amount about the English language. The book allows for creative and lateral approaches to developing an understanding of important linguistic concepts and, together with the thought-provoking activities, and accessible readings, guarantees there is something to stimulate every learner.' Janet Holmes, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand 'Introducing English Language is ambitious in its scope, providing a comprehensive, systematic introduction to a wide range of linguistic concepts as well as offering a panoramic perspective on the full range of issues that come into view when these concepts are used to ask questions about the English language.' Chris Christie, University of Loughborough, UK 'This book is a welcome addition to the Routledge English Language Introductions series. It covers the wide area of English Language studies admirably and is written in a readable, lively but authoritative style that will appeal to all those starting their studies in this field. It contains a wealth of creative activities for students to get to grips with, and it does so in an engaging but always entertaining spirit. I warmly recommend the book as a refreshing and challenging starter to university-level studies in the English language.' Richard J. Watts, University of Berne, Switzerland 'Definitely required for both students of English and English Linguistics. The writing is unusually clear, engaging, and carefully crafted. I have no doubt this textbook will become a bestseller in introductory courses for English Language and Linguistics. Its usefulness is enhanced by RELI's user-friendly 'flexi-texts' that the students can use to choose their own path through the book.' Kensei Sugayama, Kyoto Prefectural University, Japan
