Introduction
to English Linguistics
A Companion to the Seminar
(Revised and Abridged)

Preface
The seminar called Introduction to English Linguistics is offered in English to
first year students in weekly sessions. Since for most students this seminar is
the only place where the topics of the course are discussed in English, teachers
of this seminar often have to explain the material to their students before (or
instead of!) doing exercises or discussing problems, and so a considerable part
of precious seminar time is wasted on lecturing.
The present book offers a solution. It contains ten units: each discusses
an important topic in English and each is followed by exercises. Thus it
provides ample seminar material for about 12 weeks. Some of the units may be
curtailed or even omitted at the teacher’s discretion.
The units should be assigned for home study before the actual seminar
session at which they will be discussed. Thus the students will have an
opportunity to get acquainted with the main ideas and the special English
vocabulary of each topic before coming to the seminar, and this frees their
tutors from having to lecture during the seminar, enabling them to concentrate
on discussion and practical problem-solving activities.
I hope both students and teachers of the Introduction to English
Linguistics seminar will find this book a useful companion to the course. If for
any topic further reading is required, I recommend the relevant chapters of
Fromkin, V. & R. Rodman (1998) An Introduction to Language. 6th ed. (Fort
Worth, etc.: Harcourt Brace College Publishers), or Radford, A., M. Atkinson,
D. Britain, H. Clahsen & A. Spencer (1999) Linguistics, An Introduction.
