English Linguistics

bachelor-wissen «English Linguistics» is a compact and easy-to-use introduction to English linguistics which

– is tailored to the needs of students of English at German, Austrian and Swiss universities

– contains graded exercises to motivate students to carry out independent research, and

– bridges the gap between linguistics and the literary and cultural-studies components of the typical BA in English Studies.

Bachelor-wissen «English Linguistics» goes beyond the usual introduction in offering accompanying web resources which provide additional material and multi-media illustration.

The new edition includes current theoretical approaches in the fields of sociolinguistics and World Englishes.
