English Words and Sentences An Introduction
This textbook is a hands-on inductive introduction to the basic morphological and syntactic structures of English, written in a very reader-friendly style. It does not presuppose any previous linguistic knowledge but builds it up systematically by involving the reader in plenty of analytical exercises. It is therefore a perfect tool for introductions to English grammar, either to be used as a textbook in class or for self-study.”
Eva Duran Eppler, Roehampton University, London Gabriel Ozón, University of Sussex Hands-on, theory-neutral and non-technical, this textbook is a basic introduction to the structure of English words and sentences. Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistic analysis, it presents the facts in a straightforward manner and offers a step-by-step guide from small to large building blocks of language. • Assumes no prior knowledge of grammatical terminology or analysis • Provides an introduction to word-formation as well as sentence-formation

Historical Linguistics Historical Languages Toward a Twenty-First Century Reintegration Don Ringe, University of Pennsylvania Joseph F. Eska, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Bringing the advances of theoretical linguistics to the study of language change, this textbook demonstrates the mutual relevance of historical linguistics and contemporary linguistics. It argues that this approach can and should lead to the re-integration of historical linguistics as one of the core areas in the study of language.

… a thought-provoking and innovative introduction to historical linguistics, combining a masterful command of traditional methods and a wide familiarity with cutting-edge research in theoretical linguistics.” Michael Weiss, Cornell University
• An innovative textbook which demonstrates the mutual relevance of historical linguistics and contemporary linguistics • Numerous case studies show that students can apply contemporary methods to solve problems where traditional approaches to historical linguistics have failed to produce satisfying results
Language Change Joan Bybee, University of New Mexico This new introduction offers a guide to the types of change at all levels of linguistic structure, as well as the mechanisms behind each type. Based on data from a variety of methods and a huge array of language families, it examines patterns of change, and brings together recent findings. • This new introduction offers a guide to all aspects of language change, with an emphasis on the role of cognition and language use • Each chapter touches on a type of change and maps the directionality of that change so readers can grasp patterns more easily • Within historical linguistics non-European languages are often overlooked; in this book, examples are given from both European and non-European languages

Endangered Languages An Introduction
This book fills a longstanding gap in the study of language endangerment. Written by a leading specialist in the field, it is clear, accessible and thorough, and is certain to become the definitive textbook for the foreseeable future.”
Sarah G. Thomason, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor An introduction to the topic of language endangerment, answering questions such as: what is it? How and why does it happen? Wy should we care? The book outlines the causes of language endangerment, explaining what makes a language ‘safe’, and highlighting the danger signs that threaten a minority language.
Lenore A. Grenoble, The University of Chicago
• Uses case studies and a wide variety of examples of situations involving endangered languages
Sociolinguistics The Study of Speakers’ Choices Florian Coulmas, German Institute for Japanese Studies, Tokyo Why do we speak the way we do? What social factors influence our choices of expression? This best-selling introduction to the study of language and society encourages students to ask how and why we select from the vast range of different words, accents, varieties and languages available to us.
• The common theme that connects all chapters (the choice of language or expression), helps facilitate the development of a theoretical understanding of the complex field of sociolinguistics

Sociolinguistic Fieldwork Natalie Schilling, Georgetown University, Washington DC
..a detailed blueprint of sociolinguistic fieldwork, from initial study design, to making contacts, to more long term community involvement … manages to capture wonderfully the often ‘messy’ experience of data collection in the real world. The ‘secrets’ of sociolinguistic fieldwork are indeed unlocked in this book.”
Looking for an easy-to-use, practical guide to conducting fieldwork in sociolinguistics? This invaluable textbook will give you the skills and knowledge required for carrying out research projects in ‘the field’. • Prepares students and researchers for designing successful studies in stylistic variation, a key area of interest in current sociolinguistics • Practical, hands-on information offers students clear guidance in selecting and implementing field equipment and data storage systems
Jennifer Smith, University of Glasgow
• Engages readers with examples that vividly illustrate issues of method, theory and ethics
SECOND EDITION
Language and Gender Penelope Eckert, Stanford University, California Sally McConnell-Ginet, Cornell University, New York The new edition of this introductory textbook has been updated and restructured to emphasise the deep, yet constantly changing relationship between gender and language use. It covers the full breadth of the course, including sexuality and non-normative sexual and gender identities. • Written by two of the world’s leading experts in the field of language and gender • Opening three chapters provide an introduction to, and history of, the subject in non-technical language. Essential reading for students new to the subject • Encourages more nuanced ways of exploring gender and language issues than a ‘Mars and Venus’ account, by engaging with the complexity of gender and of the relation between language use and social practice • Explores a wide range of topics, including sexuality and non-normative sexual and gender identities
‘‘
This is no ordinary textbook. Eckert and McConnell-Ginet, two of the most important scholars writing in sociolinguistics and semantics today, have established a new direction for research in the field of language and gender. There is a reason that this now classic text is being reissued in second edition: no other book in this field makes a more convincing case for the crucial interdependence of language, gender, and sexuality in the formation of diverse twenty-first-century subjectivities.” Kira Hall, University of Colorado
