Format:Paperback
This book covers everything from Language issues, language and society and language change right through to stylistics. There are details of the board specifications for coursework and original writing and even mention of case study techniques. Written in a logical and organised manner this book is integral to A and A/S level success, and should be compulsory along with Crystal's Encyclopaedias. Whether revising or covering the topic for the first time, I suggest that you look into this book, and make your own decisions from there.

This book was recommended by the exam board for my English Language A Level and proved to be a big help. I've even been able to refer to it during the first year of my degree. A helpful, easy to understand book.

Pretty good for general use. Found it very useful.
Been using this book to help me with my A2 Language course, and the book is quite good. Some bits may not be that useful or relevant for college use depending on your course, but... Read more

worthy dull and a little flawed
Yes it's very thorough but it tends to leave out the significance of context leading to assumptions about language that can't be sustained. Read more
