Studying Language: English in Action

By Urzula Clark and Urszula Clark

Studying Language introduces key ideas and current critical debates about how English functions within its social and cultural contexts, and provides practical examples and guidance on how to approach further work in these topics. It introduces the core topics of language study: language variation, pragmatics, stylistics, critical discourse analysis, language and gender, and language and education. Each chapter includes case studies providing worked analysis of sample texts, suggestions for further project work and research and an annotated further reading section.
