Student exercises also reflect topics of current, global interest.

This new edition is fully updated and revised throughout and includes:

The new revising authors offer an important blend of knowledge and research experience from law and linguistics in the UK and the USA ensuring that this well-established textbook remains relevant for the next generation of students.
