NEW TITLE FROM BLACKWELL PUBLISHING

An Introduction to American English
Gunnel Tottie, University of Zurich

An Introduction to American English explains American English in the
context of American life, history, and institutions, while also making
comparisons with British English.
This book includes chapters on spelling, pronunciation, grammar, and
vocabulary which discuss how the language reflects American lifestyles
and how new words are created. Coverage also includes language use and
politeness; regional, social, and ethnic dialects, such as
African-American English; and language politics. Much of the material
presented is viewed within the framework of American history,
government and education. Every chapter is followed by a set of
recommended readings and references, some of which include Internet
resources.  An Introduction to American English is the ideal resource
for non-native speakers and undergraduates studying of American
English, as well as teachers of English as a second or foreign
language.
