Synopsis

This is a introduction to the English language and its use, organised into 15 thematic chapters, each of which can be read at one sitting. How do dialects and accents affect our identity? Do men and women speak English differently? What do slips of the tongue reveal about language? Where did English come from? This book answers these questions and many more, at the same time providing a simple guide to relevant linguistic theory and research.
