Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

How does English work? What are the different elements? How do they all fit
together?

The fourth edition of this popular textbook takes the reader on a step-by-step
journey through the various levels of language, covering all the linguistic
frameworks in a single volume. Beginning with words as the building blocks of
language, Ballard investigates their internal structure before moving on to
larger and larger units, from phrases to sentences and beyond. The sound
system of English is also explored in detail, from individual segments to
connected speech. Lastly, some broader perspectives are offered, looking at
regional, global and historical variation in English.

Fully revised and refreshed, this edition includes an engaging new chapter
exploring how the frameworks of the language have changed over time, from Old
English to the present day, provides a selection of exercises at the end of
every chapter allowing readers to consolidate and develop their understanding,
and introduces 'point of comparison' boxes offering opportunities to compare
features of English with those found in other languages. Supported by plenty
of examples, helpful cross-referencing and a detailed glossary, "The
Frameworks of English" is the perfect reader-friendly guide for all students
of English language and linguistics.
