 This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the study of word-formation, focussing specifically on English. Complex words have an internal structure consisting of two or more meaningful elements, or morphemes. As well as combining to create words, these elements can function both to relate words to other words, and to create new words. Assuming no prior Linguistic knowledge, Ingo Plag takes students through the fundamentals of word-formation, encouraging them to engage in their own morphological analyses of English words. After working with this book, readers should be familiar with the necessary methodological tools to obtain relevant data (corpora, various types of dictionaries, experiments, internet resources), and should be able to systematically analyse their data and relate their findings to theoretical problems and debates. Drawing on insights from various research traditions - rather than just one theoretical perspective - Word-Formation in English will be welcomed by all students of English Language and Linguistics.

 Andrew Radford's latest textbook, Minimalist Syntax and the Syntax of English, provides a concise, clear, and accessible introduction to current work in syntactic theory, drawing on the key concepts of Chomsky's Minimalist Programme. Assuming little or no prior knowledge of syntactic theory, Radford takes students through a diverse range of topics in English syntax - such as categories and features, merger, null constituents, movement, case, and split projections - and shows how the 'computational component' works within the minimalist framework. Beginning at an elementary level, the book introduces grammatical concepts and sets out the theoretical foundations of Principles and Parameters and Universal Grammar, before progressing in stages towards more complex phenomena. Each chapter contains a workbook section, in which students are encouraged to make their own analyses of English phrases and sentences through exercises, model answers, and 'helpful hints'. There is also an extensive glossary of terms. ISBN or Category: 9780521834971 Price when last checked: $100.00 |

 Many students have forgotten, or never learned, the basic grammatical concepts needed for studying Biblical Hebrew. Explanations of these concepts in Hebrew grammar textbooks are either too skimpy or too complex. 'Grammatical Concepts 101 for Biblical Hebrew' fills this gap. In this complement to standard classroom grammars, veteran language instructor and Hebrew scholar Gary Long revisits English grammar in order to teach more effectively concepts that are specific to Hebrew. Arranged to supplement teaching grammars, each chapter takes up individual concepts, first explaining how the concept works in English, then illustrating its use in Biblical Hebrew. Long explains, for example, 'voice, tense, aspect, mood, participles, independent and dependent clauses, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns,' even 'discourse analysis' and 'translation theory' in easy-to-understand language. Abundant English and Hebrew examples illustrate each concept, most of them visually analyzed. Glosses and translations help students grasp the Hebrew examples.
