    Description

    Developing the research, writing and referencing skills vital to achieving success in an academic environment is a necessary part of university study. Keys to Academic English presents Academic English, a distinct form of the language used at a tertiary level, and its building blocks - appropriate research, critical thinking and language, effective communication and essay preparation and writing - in an accessible, easy-to-use format. The first part of the text covers the overarching principles of Academic English, including the history of English, and grammar and language essentials. The second part discusses the practical application of this knowledge, with particular emphasis on crafting coherent, thesis-driven essays, alongside discussion of research and sources, referencing and citation, and style and presentation. Written by authors with extensive tertiary teaching experience, Keys to Academic English is an invaluable reference for students beginning their university degrees across a range of humanities disciplines.

    • Thorough and highly practical introduction to Academic English
    • Each chapter supported by examples and a range of student-friendly features
    • Covers the history of the English language so that readers can understand the complex systems at work in English grammar, spelling and usage

    English Language and Linguistics

    : Journal

    English Language and Linguistics, published three times a year, is an international journal which focuses on the description of the English language within the framework of contemporary linguistics. The journal is concerned equally with the synchronic and the diachronic aspects of English language studies and publishes articles of the highest quality which make a substantial contribution to our understanding of the structure and development of the English language and which are informed by a knowledge and appreciation of linguistic theory. English Language and Linguistics carries articles and short discussion papers or squibs on all core aspects of English, from its beginnings to the present day, including syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, pragmatics, corpus linguistics and lexis. There is also a major review section including, from time to time, articles that give an overview of current research in particular specialist areas. Occasional issues are devoted to a special topic, when a guest editor is invited to commission articles from leading specialists in the field.
