English Vocabulary: The Basics offers a clear, non-jargonistic introduction to English vocabulary, the way linguists classify and explain it, and the place of vocabulary in our overall picture of the language, and in society. Introducing a range of terminology for discussing vocabulary, the listener is provided with a coherent, structured description of what we know about words and their meanings.

Key features of this book include:

? Analysis of historical roots of present-day words

? Coverage of the differences between speech and writing and between formality and informality

? Understanding of the social implications of choices that readers make to use standard or non-standard (e.g., regional/dialect) vocabulary

? A focus on British English with reference to a wide range of varieties of English that include North American English, Irish English, Indian English, Malaysian English, Nigerian English, and Caribbean English

This book is an engaging and thought-provoking listen for anyone with an interest in English vocabulary.
