Revised throughout, the third edition of Studying the English Language (previously Introducing English Language) covers the key disciplines and concepts of linguistics as well as core areas in language study, including acquisition, standardisation and the globalisation of English. The new edition offers:
- An updated and more accessible structure with separate threads on semantics, pragmatics, text and discourse, and new material on identity
- A new thread on 'Meanings', focusing purely on semantics, including both lexical semantics and new material on propositional semantics
- New explanations on relevance theory, text linguistics, corpus linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)
- A more international outlook with the inclusion of bilingual views, a discussion of post-colonial power and a revised section on Global Englishes
- Coverage of new developments in areas such as politeness, discourse analysis, text-worlds, cognitive poetics and corpus stylistics
- Updated further reading recommendations, examples and exercises
- A re-imagined D section with a diverse range of resources, including passages of key texts and the authors' own research, questions, prompts and guidance to engage with the texts, summaries of key works with discussion points and guidance for further research.
Written by two experienced teachers and authors, this accessible introduction to the study of English language is an essential resource for all students of English language and linguistics.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
