This title features twenty-four linguists who analyze natural and
social differences in language form, use, and attitudes.
This collection of different perspectives on language variation
serves as a companion volume to "New Ways of Analyzing Variation in
English".
A clear and up-to-date introduction to linguistics. This
best-selling textbook addresses the full scope of language, from
the traditional subjects of structural linguistics (relating to
sound, form, meaning and language change) to the more specialised
subjects of contextual linguistics (including discourse, dialect
variation, language and culture, and the politics of language).
There are also separate chapters on language and the brain,
computational linguistics, writing, and first and second language
learning. Extensively classroom-tested, this second edition has
been revised to further support student learning, with numerous new
examples, exercises and textboxes to model and contextualise key
concepts. Updated throughout to incorporate contemporary issues and
events, it includes worked examples of phonological analyses and
multiple examples of a variety of World Englishes. A rich
collection of online resources completes the learning package.
