How English Works: A Linguistic Introduction Paperback - 2011
by Anne Curzan; Michael Adams
From the rear cover
On the cover of this book, you'll find many questions that you may have asked and wondered about the answers. How English Works addresses those questions while it introduces you to the structure of English, general theories in linguistics, and important issues in sociolinguistics. As an English or Education major, or as a student taking the course because the study of linguistics is of interest, you will connect academic linguistics to the everyday use of the English language around you. The English language is always changing, which leads to new insights about how language, and the English language specifically, works. The authors revised this textbook to keep up both with linguistic scholarship and with the language itself.
