Description
| Summary: | "This book is designed for college-level courses about English words and word structure. It explores how units of a language-sounds, word elements, words-function together and how a language functions in society over time. The ultimate aim is to acquaint native and non-native English speakers with aspects of English vocabulary that may be new to them. This includes practice in analyzing complex words, tracing how English got to its present state, and outlining factors that influence people's attitudes toward English usage. We hope this book will serve students in any field of study looking for better comprehension of English vocabulary as well as anyone curious about the language, its development over time, and its growing importance as a world language"--
