English Linguistics: Essentials by Bernd Kortmann
English Linguistics: Essentials is a textbook that introduces the major concepts and issues of the central branches of linguistics, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, grammar, semantics, pragmatics and sociolinguistics. It also covers the distinctive properties of English (Standard English as well as major national, regional and social varieties), including an in-depth structural comparison with German. The book is written in an accessible style and with many reader-friendly features, such as checklists, exercises, figures and tables. It is suitable for both beginners and more advanced students of English and linguistics.
The book is based on the 2nd edition of a classic textbook used in many English and linguistics departments in Germany for more than 20 years. It has been completely revised, updated and enlarged to reflect the current state of the art in the field. It also includes supplementary material online, such as additional exercises, solutions and links to useful websites for further study and reading.
The book is authored by Bernd Kortmann, who is Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and Executive Director of FRIAS (Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies). He is a renowned expert in English linguistics, especially in the areas of dialectology, typology and contrastive linguistics. He has edited and authored several books and journals on these topics.

The first chapter of the book introduces the major concepts and research traditions of linguistics, such as the distinction between descriptive and prescriptive grammar, the levels of linguistic analysis, the branches of linguistics and the methods of linguistic research. It also explains some basic terms and concepts that are used throughout the book, such as language, dialect, variety, standard language, register and style.
The second chapter deals with phonetics and phonology, which are the branches of linguistics that study the sounds and sound systems of languages. It covers topics such as the production and classification of speech sounds, the transcription of sounds using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), the syllable structure and stress patterns of English words, the phonological rules and processes that affect sounds in different contexts and the differences between British and American pronunciation.
The third chapter focuses on morphology, which is the branch of linguistics that studies the structure and formation of words. It covers topics such as the types and functions of morphemes (the smallest meaningful units of words), the processes of word formation (such as derivation, compounding, conversion and blending), the inflectional system of English (such as noun plurals, verb tenses and aspects) and the comparison between synthetic and analytic languages. ec8f644aee
