Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of
language study and are one-stop resources for students. Assuming no
prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview
of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses,
commentaries and key readings - all in the same volume. The
innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional' structure is built around
four sections - Introduction, Development, Exploration and
Extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Revised
and updated throughout, this fourth edition of Practical English
Phonetics and Phonology: presents the essentials of the subject and
their day-to-day applications in an engaging and accessible manner;
covers all the core concepts of phonetics and phonology, such as
the phoneme, syllable structure, production of speech, vowel and
consonant possibilities, glottal settings, stress, rhythm,
intonation and the surprises of connected speech; incorporates
classic readings from key names in the discipline; outlines the
sound systems of six key languages from around the world (Spanish,
French, Italian, German, Polish and Japanese); is accompanied by a
brand-new companion website which hosts a collection of samples
provided by genuine speakers of 25 accent varieties from Britain,
Ireland, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,
India, Singapore and West Africa, as well as transcriptions,
further study questions, answer keys, links to further reading and
numerous recordings to accompany activities in the book. This
edition has been completely reorganised and new features include:
updated descriptions of the sounds of modern English and the
adoption of the term General British (GB); considerable expansion
of the treatment of intonation, including new recordings; and two
new readings by David Crystal and John Wells. Written by authors
who are experienced teachers and researchers, this best-selling
textbook will appeal to all students of English language and
linguistics and those training for a certificate in TEFL.

This volume presents the first full-scale biography of Daniel
Jones, a preeminent scholar and leading British phonetician of the
early twentieth century, and the first linguist to hold a chair at
a British university. This book, richly illustrated with partly
unpublished material traces Jones's life and career, including his
contacts with other linguists, and with figures outside the
linguistic world notably Robert Bridges and George Bernard Shaw.
The Copenhagen Studies in Language Series includes studies of
language for general purposes and also language for special
purposes (LSP). It covers grammar, semantics, pragmatics, text
linguistics and translation, both from theoretical and applied
perspectives. It is editorial policy to bring out the journal in
the form of a series of thematic volumes. Although produced from
the Copenhagen Business School, the journal welcomes contributions
from linguists based at other institutions either in Denmark or the
wider world. This volume brings together five papers presented at
the 1st International Research Workshop "Methodology in Translation
Process Research" held from April 6 to 8, 2009, at the University
of Graz, Austria. The first three articles provide insights into
the methods employed in the TransComp project at the University of
Graz and discuss some of the findings this longitudinal study has
yielded so far. The fourth presents results from another
longitudinal study, the CTP project ("Capturing Translation
Processes"), conducted at Zurich University of Applied Sciences.
The collection concludes with a contribution which bridges
methodology in translation and interpreting process research.
This book honours a Danish linguist central to the field of foreign
language pedagogy in her country and is arranged in four sections
that reflect her interests. The structure of the book is intended
to reflect Kirsten Haastrup's research interests and her
involvement in pedagogical issues and language policy. It has been
divided into four sections: research methods and perspectives,
vocabulary acquisition research, pedagogical issues and language
policy.
