Edward Finegan (MA and PhD, Ohio University) specializes in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, and the history and structure of the English language. He served as chair of the Department of Linguistics at USC and currently serves as director of USC's Center for Excellence in Teaching. President of the International Association of Forensic Linguists, Finegan is editor of DICTIONARIES: THE JOURNAL OF THE DICTIONARY SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA and has been Liberal Arts Fellow in Law and Linguistics, Harvard University; Visiting Professor at University of Zurich; and Visiting Scholar at University of Helsinki. He also served as Director of American Language Institute/National Iranian Radio and Television [1975-1976 in peaceful times]. He is the recipient of many teaching awards and honors.
"Clarity, thoroughness of coverage, comprehensibility, excellent examples, logical order of presentation--all are excellent. Finegan understands the level of knowledge and sophistication of his/our audience of students and is therefore able to communicate effectively throughout the text."
"One of the most striking things about Finegan's writing is that it is very reader friendly. He attempts to reach the students rather than show his own erudition through the use of jargon. This is one of the main strengths throughout the book."
