This comprehensive and accessible student workbook accompanies the 7th edition of Albert C. Baugh and Thomas Cable's History of the English Language.

An additional 'pre-chapter' on the sounds of English also provides phonetic information and exercises that will prove useful throughout the book. This new edition has been revised alongside the textbook and includes new exercises to accompany the latest edition of the classic textbook. This workbook is an invaluable companion for all History of English Language courses.
