This book explores the contemporary phenomenon of English as an international language, and sets out to analyse how and why the language has become so dominant. It looks at the spread of English historically, at the role it plays in Third World countries, and at the ideologies transmitted through the English language.

本书主要用形式语义学的焦点理论，来分析句子成分之间的结构关系和语义关系；着重用数理逻辑上关于算子和变量的约束关系这种观念，来分析焦点敏感算子跟焦点之间的语义关联、及其结构限制，概括汉语焦点结构的形式特征和语义特点，构建焦点结构的句法分析程序和相应的语义解释程序，揭示汉语焦点结构对句子的语义解释产生作用的具体机制，以更有效地分析和表示汉语句子的语义结构跟形式结构之间的映射关系，推进汉语语法研究更上一个台阶。

This book was first published in 1954.

"Its publication should be a major event for cognitive linguistics and should pose a major challenge for cognitive science. In addition, it should have repercussions in a variety of disciplines, ranging from anthropology and psychology to epistemology and the philosophy of science. . . . Lakoff asks: What do categories of language and thought reveal about the human mind? Offering both general theory and minute details, Lakoff shows that categories reveal a great deal."—David E. Leary, American Scientist

A general introduction to the area of theoretical linguistics known as cognitive linguistics, this textbook provides up-to-date coverage of all areas of the field, including recent developments within cognitive semantics (such as Primary Metaphor Theory, Conceptual Blending Theory, and Principled Polysemy), and cognitive approaches to grammar (such as Radical Construction Grammar and Embodied Construction Grammar). The authors offer clear, critical evaluations of competing formal approaches within theoretical linguistics. For example, cognitive linguistics is compared to Generative Grammar and Relevance Theory. In the selection of material and in the presentations, the authors have aimed for a balanced perspective.
Part II, Cognitive Semantics, and Part III, Cognitive Approaches to Grammar, have been created to be read independently. The authors have kept in mind that different instructors and readers will need to use the book in different ways tailored to their own goals. The coverage is suitable for a number of courses.
While all topics are presented in terms accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive science, and modern languages, this work is sufficiently comprehensive and detailed to serve as a reference work for scholars who wish to gain a better understanding of cognitive linguistics.

This text is intended to help readers understand and critique research in language learning. The paperback edition is intended to help readers understand and critique research in language learning. It presents a balanced and objective view of a range of methods - including formal experiments, introspective methods (including diaries, logs, journals, and stimulated recall), interaction and transcript analysis, ethnography, and case studies. Other topics covered are elicitation techniques, program evaluation, and action research. The book is highly accessible and does not assume specialist or technical knowledge. This volume will be of interest to students of applied linguistics and educational researchers, in addition to classroom teachers and teachers-in-training. After reading the book and completing the tasks and exercises included in each chapter, readers should be able to understand and critique published studies in the field of language learning. They should also have acquired sufficient skills and knowledge to formulate research questions, collect relevant data relating to the questions, analyze and interpret the data, and report the results to others. Throughout the book, theoretical issues are drawn from published studies and reports. The book also emphasizes to language teachers the professional and practical value of reading published research, and initiating their own research

特拉斯克编著的《历史与比较语言学词典》收入历史语言学术语近2400条，覆盖了历史语言学的各个方面。绝大多数词条除了清楚准确的定义外，还提供真实的语言学例证、相关的历史和理论背景以及适当的参考文献。关于本书的特色，书后的封底列有六个方面：即（1）历史语言学的第一本词典，（2）对历史语言学知识体系的全面覆盖，（3）囊括传统和当代术语，（4）提供所释术语的语言学例证，（5）安排大量相关词条的互见参照，（6）包含数以百计的原始文献的参考书目。不过在笔者看来，本书最大的特色是充分吸收了历史语言学的新成果。众所周知，历史语言学进入20世纪以后：获得了长足的发展，特别是近30年来，语言变异和演变的社会语言学研究（语言变异研究和语言接触研究）以及功能主义语言学流派（语言类型学、认知语言学、语法化、篇章语言学以及语用学）的迅速发展使历史语言学的理念、方法和视角发生了重大变革。本书的相关词条对这些新成果都有比较全面的反映。

This lively book provides a truly comprehensive introduction to current linguistic semantics. Used in introductory and intermediate courses in semantics, it will supply teachers with an easy to use basic text and students with an accessible source of dependable information'. Ronnie Cann, University of Edinburgh. "This is a solid, well-written and very comprehensive textbook that will prove an invaluable resource in introductory semantics classes. The exercises are especially useful and the sections on theoretical approaches represent ideal links to more advanced semantic theory' David Adger, University of York This volume provides an engaging introduction to semantics for readers new to the subject. The book has three sections. Part I is concerned with the place of semantics within linguistics and its relation with the disciplines of philosophy and psychology. Part II introduces central topics in the description of word and sentence meaning. Part III reviews the three main current theoretical approaches to semantics; componential theory, formal semantics and cognitive semantics. The book discusses semantic phenomena from a wide range of languages. Each chapter contains exercises to alow the reader to explore the issues raised, and suggestions for further teadings.

《应用语言学》，本书为“牛津语言学入门丛书”之一，丛书作者均为国际知名的语言学专家。语言学家认为在文学作品中或在日常生活中，人们用语篇表达含义。本书介绍了有关语篇分析的关键概念，如语域、语篇类型、语料库等。
