Review :
Provides readers with useful and succinct notes...suggestions for further study and reading...particularly useful not only for students, but also teachers. Japanese Association of English Teachers Very clear introduction to difficult concepts - great exercises Dr Sheena Gardner, University of Warwick, UK 'The best for this level.' P. Livesey, University of Central Lancashire Each chapter has a summary, suggestions for further study and a number of exercises. And the time-challenged lecturer will welcome to answers at the back of the book. The glossary is generous, and where appropriate capital letters are used to follow the conventions of SFL.
