English Words cover

English Words is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the study of English words from a theoretically informed linguistic perspective.

  • accessibly written to give students a command of basic theory, skills in analyzing English words, and the foundation needed for more advanced study in linguistic theory or lexicology
  • covers basic introductory material and investigates the structure of English vocabulary
  • introduces students to the technical study of words from relevant areas of linguistics: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics and psycholinguistics

“A very special book that captures, at an introductory level, the variety of things linguists find fascinating about the history and structure of English.”
Will Leben, Stanford University
