bachelor-wissen ‘English Linguistics’ is a compact and easy-to-use introduction to English linguistics which
— is tailored to the needs of students of English at German, Austrian and Swiss universities
— contains graded exercises to motivate students to carry out independent research, and
— bridges the gap between linguistics and the literary and cultural-studies components of the typical BA in English Studies.
Bachelor-wissen ‘English Linguistics’ goes beyond the usual introduction in offering accompanying web resources which provide additional material and multi-media illustration.
The new edition includes current theoretical approaches in the fields of sociolinguistics and World Englishes.
