Abstract:
English language and linguistics shares many of its writing conventions with
those of other disciplines, but there are certain features and expectations
that distinguish it as a subject. This book is written specifically to help
undergraduate students of English language and linguistics develop the art of
writing essays, projects and reports. Written by an author with over 30 years'
experience of lecturing in the subject, it is a comprehensive and very
readable resource and contains numerous discipline-related examples, practice
exercises and an answer key. It includes chapters on referencing (including
plagiarism, paraphrase and guidance on referencing styles), stylistic issues
that often get overlooked, and writing a dissertation. The book offers
practical guidance and a layout that guides students as they work though their
project. It will be an invaluable reference tool that students can read cover
to cover or dip into as and when required.
