Description

This series provides the detailed description and explanation of aspects of English. It is divided into two sections - introductory and advanced. The introductory volumes each cover the equivalent of an introductory course and contain exercises, recommendations for further reading and a glossary. Together, they cover all those aspects of the language that form a substantial and identifiable part of introductory English Language courses. Volumes cover aspects of the history and structure of the language such as: syntax, phonology, morphology, regional and social variation, Old English, Middle English and international Englishes.
