Written for advanced undergraduate students, this introduction covers all aspects of Modern English, including phonology, morphology, lexical and sentence semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. The focus is exclusively on English data, providing an empirical explication of the structure of the language, rather than exploring theoretical questions. It assumes no prior background in linguistics. Accompanying the text is a CD-ROM featuring an interactive workbook, self-tests, and pedagogical applications.
For decades it has been commonly believed that the English language has remained fairly static since the beginning of the eighteenth century, but recent research shows that this is far from true. An Introduction to Late Modern English focuses on the tail end of the standardization process (codification and prescription), during which such important social changes as the Industrial Revolution shaped the language.
Modern languages are offered to young learners at an increasingly early age in many countries; yet few publications have focused on what is available to children in different contexts. This volume fills this gap by documenting the state-of-the-art in researching young language learners using a variety of research methods.
