The study questions and discussion topies following each chapter have also been thoroughly revised. with the addition of forty new tasks for students; and the further reading sections have been revised. updated and expanded. resulting in a comprehensive bibliography of contemporary thinking on language. The new edition also has many more illustrations, examples. and quotes from a wide range of commentators, from Groucho Marx to Gary Larson. and notes on new developments in contemporary
English and other languages. The presentation retains the clear and lively style which made the first edition a widely used introduction to the study of language.
