This book provides an introduction to central areas of English
linguistics. The book consists of six large sections: language and
linguistics - sounds - words - sentences - utterances - applied
linguistics. Each of these sections is subdivided into a number of
chapters, some of which address beginners, some of which are
intended for more advanced students. The book is written from a
foreign student's perspective of the English language, i.e. aspects
relevant to foreign language teaching and didactics are especially
focussed on. The book also provides basic facts concerning the
history of the language and differences between British and
American English. The main idea is to demonstrate that usually in
linguistics there is not just one way of describing certain facts.
This is why each section contains a chapter written for beginners
providing a broad outline of the area and introducing the basic
terminology for each field. The other chapters in each section
highlight certain linguistic facts in more detail and give an idea
of how particular theories account for them. The book can thus be
used from the first semester onwards but is also intended to serve
as an important study aid for final B.A.-examinations. Key features
comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of English
linguistics highly accessible through a strongly didactic,
reader-friendly orientation
