Using English provides an invaluable introduction to the study of
English for students of language and linguistics. It examines the
way in which the English language is used today in different
contexts and in many parts of the world, by both native and
non-native speakers. Issues of language use in speech and writing,
in work and play, and in persuading and informing are explored and
illustrated with data and readings from around the English-using
world. The reader is introduced to the adaptations and variations
in English language use and to debates relating to how these are
perceived and evaluated by different groups of users. For this
second edition, key material from the earlier bestselling book,
Using English: From Conversation to Canon, has been reorganized and
updated, and entirely new material has been introduced. This new
content is based on recent research in the field, as well as on
contemporary thinking about how speakers and writers use the
English language to accomplish a huge range of purposes in a
variety of linguistic and cultural settings. Drawing on The Open
University's wide experience of writing accessible and innovative
texts, this book: explains basic concepts, easily located through a
comprehensive index, includes contributions by experts in the
field, such as Mike Baynham, Adrian Beard, Guy Cook, Sharon
Goodman, Almut Koester, Janet Maybin and Neil Mercer, contains a
range of source material and commissioned readings to supplement
chapters.
