Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This text aims to offer a comprehensive, scholarly and systematic review of modern English. In one volume, it presents a description of both the linguistic structure of present-day English and its geographical, social, gender and ethnic variations. Organized in three parts, the first describes the linguistic system, including sounds, spelling, grammar and vocabulary. The second builds on this foundation and deals with variations of English according to use and user - examining subjects such as "Language and Gender" and "English for Specific Purposes". The final section covers regional and social variations, and includes a chapter on American English. Written in a clear, jargon-free style, "A Survey of Modern English" addresses both native and non-native speakers. Each chapter has an extensive bibliography with an emphasis on easily available publications.
