The main sections are: the English language and linguistics - sounds - meaning-carrying units - sentences: models of grammar - meaning - utterances - variation. Notably, the book is written from a foreign student's perspective of the English language, i.e. aspects relevant to foreign language teaching receive particular attention. A great deal of emphasis is put on the insights to be gained from the analysis of corpora, especially with respect to the idiomatic character of language (idiom principle, valency approach).Mouton TextbookLinguisticsLanguage and languagesEnglish languageTextbooks for foreign speakersElectronic books.Linguistics.Language and languages.English language428.2/4HF 100rvkHerbst Thomas1953-636864MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463771703321English linguistics2477279UNINA
