T
his comprehensive textbook provides a practical introduction to English phonetics
and phonology . Assuming no prior background, the author outlines all of
the core concepts and methods of phonetics and phonology and presents the basic
facts in a clear and straightforward manner . In sections marked as advanced reading
it is shown how these concepts and methods are applied in language acquisition and
language teaching . The textbook contains exercises, an index, suggestions for further
reading and many audio examples on the accompanying CD-ROM . An essential text
for students embarking on the study of English sounds at B .A . level and beyond .
T
his is a comprehensive introduction to English text-linguistics . It deals with
those areas of text-linguistics that have enjoyed widespread attention in English
linguistics, notably aspects of cohesion and coherence . Further topics are corpusbased
studies in lexical patterns and in text classifi cations, psycholinguistic and cognitive
studies in text constitution and decoder-orientation . One special feature of
this book is that it not only covers abstract lexical and grammatical structures but
also medium-dependent written and spoken presentation .
T
his book provides an overview of basic syntactic categories, analytical methods
and theoretical frameworks that are needed for a comprehensive and systematic
description and analysis of the syntax of English as it is spoken and written today .
It is therefore useful for students of the English language but also for teachers who
are looking for an overview of traditional syntactic analysis . In addition, the book explores
various related aspects, such as syntactic variation, the relation between syntax
and semantics, and psycholinguistic approaches to syntax . One focus throughout
is to introduce the reader to the ‘art’ or science of syntactic argumentation . Almost
all of the examples that are found in this book are drawn from language corpora –
each syntactic concept, therefore, is exemplifi ed by authentic language data .
