Meaning and Signification.ReviewsIt is written in mainly non-technical language and is easy to read. Terms are clearly defined and lots of examples are provided....This book would be an asset to someone interested in developing communicative competence in American English. -LINGUIST List Andrews approaches his subject as an old friend would approach a social conversation: he's chatty, informal, humorous and quite engaging....the book provides gems that the ESL...teacher can actually use... -Language Awareness On the whole this book is useful. -TESL-EJ Andrews does an exceptional job of inviting readers into a dialogue about how language works and why it is important for teachers of ENL students to have a grasp on how English speakers use and understand language. I commend the author for approaching American English linguistics by highlighting meaning and the social nature of language. The book presents complex ideas using familiar language, and challenges readers/students to make sense of them....It treats readers as professionals who can improve their teaching by understanding and discussing the nature of language in society, and how English, with all its varieties, works in communication....This is the kind of text on American English linguistics that I have been awaiting a long time. -Christian Faltis Arizona State University Author InformationLarry Andrews Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
