It traces its history from obscure beginnings over 1500 years ago. It shows the geographical spread of the language in increasing diversity.

‘The book provides an excellent, accessible general introduction to core content areas and issues for students entering MA TESOL programs. It will be of great assistance to students in making sense of what can be a fairly bewildering span of theoretical perspectives, and it will also allow academic teaching staff to readily situate the particular orientations they wish to explore in more depth. It is a welcomed innovation in the professional development literature in the TESOL field.’- Susan Hood, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia This book is a practical and insightful guide for new MA TESOL students, providing information that will shape their expectations of the field and of their program.

Sociolinguistics and Discourse

Communication
Politicians and Rhetoric The Persuasive Power of Metaphor Jonathan Charteris-Black, Professor of Linguistics, University of the West of England, UK
‘This book is a fascinating exercise in the art of critical metaphor analysis of political speeches,including recent speeches by G. W. Bush and Obama.’ Andrew Goatly, Lingnan University, China ‘Overall...this book is highly recommended for readers interested in questions of political discourse or language, particularly given its methodological contribution to a field dominated by issues and texts of abstract theorisation.’- Lee Jarvis, Political Studies Review This analysis of the rhetoric of nine successfully persuasive politicians explains how their use of language created credible and consistent stories about themselves and the social world they inhabit.

A Conversation-Analytic Study of Patient Consultations in Pharmacy
John A. Bateman, Professor of Applied Linguistics, Faculty of Linguistics and Literary Sciences, University of Bremen, Germany
Hanh thi Nguyen, Associate Professor, Hawaii Pacific University, USA Foreword by Cecilia E. Ford
‘Nguyen’s book is one of the very few original contributions made by applied linguists to the debate over what constitutes learning.’ - Richard F. Young, Professor in English Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition, University of WisconsinMadison, USA An unprecedented glimpse into the multidimensional learning processes that take place when novice professionals develop the necessary communication skills for effective task accomplishment. This analysis of authentic patient consultations by pharmacy interns is a significant contribution to research on health communication training.
‘If you have never read a book on multimodality, or plan on reading just one book, Bateman’s Multimodality and Genre is the book I’d recommend. It ably reviews the work that has revolutionized discourse analysis around the world and reconstructs its foundations in a way that is enabling multimodal discourse analysis to move forward on a principled footing.’ - James Martin, University of Sydney, Australia The first systematic, corpus-based and theoretically rigorous approach to the description and analysis of multimodal documents. Drawing on academic research and the experience of designers and production teams, Bateman uses linguisticallybased analysis to show how different modes of expression together make up a document with a recognizable genre
