Old English and Its Closest Relatives - A Survey of the Earliest Germanic Languages
At first glance, there may seem little reason to think of English and German as variant forms of a single language. There are enormous differences between the two in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, and a monolingual speaker of one cannot understand the other at all. Yet modern English and German have many points in common, and if we go back to the earliest texts available in the two languages, the similarities are even more notable.
Reading Old English Texts focuses on the critical methods currently being used and developed for reading and analyzing writings in Old English. It is the first collection of its kind in the field and is a timely book, given the explosion of interest in the theory, method, and practice of critical reading in recent years.
The present textbook of practical phonetics is designed for the firstyear students of English faculties and departments. It consists of 10 units. Each unit is composed of a variety of phonetic exercises, dialogues and texts. The aim of the textbook is to develop and improve the listening, comprehension and pronunciation skills of the students.

Mode of Discourse: The Local Structure of Texts
Carlota Smith offers a new approach with this study of discourse passages, units of several sentences or more. She introduces the key idea of the "Discourse Mode", identifying five modes: Narrative, Description, Report, Information, Argument. Smith analyzes the properties that distinguish each mode, focusing on grammatical rather than lexical information. The book also examines presentational matters: topic and focus; variation in syntactic structure; and subjectivity, or point of view.
