Böcker av K. Aaron Smith

Approaches the structure of English from a form-function perspective that is both theoretical and practical. The book asks learners to consider meaning, structure and use, in contrast to many grammars that focus on structure, sometimes to the exclusion of use and even meaning.

Provides an introduction to the history of English that recognises multiple varieties of the language in both current and historical contexts. The book enables students to both grasp traditional histories of English, and to extend and complicate those histories.
