Description
The Frameworks of English: A Comprehensive Guide to Language Structures This textbook takes you on a step-by-step journey through the various levels of language, exploring how words and phrases fit together. Beginning with the internal structure of individual words, Ballard then moves on to larger units, such as phrases and sentences. As you progress, you'll delve into the sound system of English, examining both individual segments and connected speech. The book also offers a broader perspective, looking at regional, global, and historical variation in English. A new chapter explores how the frameworks of the language have changed over time, from Old English to the present day. To help you consolidate your understanding, each chapter includes exercises and 'point of comparison' boxes that allow you to compare features of English with those found in other languages. With plenty of examples, helpful cross-referencing, and a detailed glossary, this textbook is an ideal resource for students of English language and linguistics.
