Abstract:

Refreshed and updated, the fifth edition of this core textbook offers
a clear and engaging introduction to the building blocks of the
English language, namely its words, sounds and sentences. Assuming no
prior knowledge, it combines accessibility with depth, offering
detailed explanations of key topics and theories, including variation
in vocabularies, the International Phonetic Alphabet and relevance
theory in relation to pragmatics. Packed full of exercises to help
consolidate learning, and equipped with examples and illustrations
throughout, An Introduction to English Language is essential reading
for undergraduate students of English language and linguistics and a
valuable resource for students and teachers of English as a second or
foreign language.

This new edition features:
- An enhanced text design
- Updated examples
- Refreshed illustrations
- New and improved exercises
- Revised further reading lists.

The book is divided into three parts, with succinct overviews and
clearly-defined learning outcomes at the start of each section,
followed by glossaries of technical terms at the end. It is also
accompanied by a wealth of online resources, including downloadable
PowerPoints, MP3 audio files, MP4 video lectures, and quizzes, further
supporting readers in achieving their goals.
