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.

Industry Reviews

'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
