Publisher's Synopsis
This pack with its specially written language description book sets out to provide a short introduction to the study of language. The idea is not to explore every detail of the English language, but to give you a broad understanding of approaches taken in describing language and developing theories about it. This is what is meant by ælinguisticsÆ and can be applied to all languages although English is the main focus of this book/pack, examples are also taken from other languages for purposes of comparison.The interactive DVD-ROM can be used to practise the basics of language analysis.
