Grammar and Vocabulary cover

Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of language study and are one-stop resources for students.
Assuming no prior knowledge, these books offer an accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings – all in the same volume. The innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional' structure is built around four sections – introduction, development, exploration and extension – which offer self-contained stages for study. Each topic can also be read across these sections, enabling the reader to build gradually on the knowledge gained.
Grammar and Vocabulary:

  • covers the core areas of the subject: words and sentences, word classes, word structure, slots and fillers, sentence patterns, clause and phrase, grammar rules, and vocabularies
  • draws on a wide range of real texts from newspaper articles, adverts, poems, and websites
  • provides classic readings by key names in the discipline, such as Halliday, Quirk, Ayto, and Trudgill.

This is an accessible and user-friendly textbook for all students of English language and linguistics.

'This book is an excellently clear introduction to the core concepts in grammar and vocabulary. I would happily use this book with students beginning their study of lexis and grammar.' - Susan Hunston, University of Birmingham 'This flexible, choose-your-own-way course catches the reader's attention from the first page and paves a lively way for independent learning. Students should enjoy the experience.' - Angela Downing, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain
