An Introduction to the Nature and Functions of Language (Investigating English Language)

Students will progress easily and develop the skills necessary for A-Level/Higher examinations, as little prior knowledge is assumed. A comprehensive knowledge of the many facets of the linguistic system will be gained as students move through the book. An all-inclusive approach to the study of English Language is stimulated by suggestions for project work and extended study. Students are encouraged to practice the skills they have learnt through completion of a range of exercises and activities. Understanding of the topics is aided by a glossary of terms and a bibliography.
