Teaching Adult Language Learners
The book is originally intended for postgraduate students of applied linguistics and foreign language teachers who may have some unresolved dilemmas about foreign language education for adults. It opens with a chapter about seven dominant perspectives on the learning process. The book moves across the notions of adulthood, adult learner, adult education, and principles of foreign (the prefix second is interchangeably used) language teaching methodology. The final chapter is designed to help you reflect on your own inclinations towards embracing or rejecting novelties in teaching design. Overall, the first four chapters may appeal to a broad audience, but the final three chapters may require a level of relevant experience and supplementary reading about issues in education and foreign language methodology. This book can be read from cover to cover, but it is not necessary to do so. I encourage you to skip to chapters that you find relevant. Every chapter has a few sections which I labeled Personal Notes where I tried to spare you the academic style and provide some opportunities for reflections by means of my personal experiences, dilemmas, observations, and anecdotes. The chapters also have Highlights which tend to sum up or emphasize key elements in the textbook's segments for which I assumed it would be necessary. Every chapter ends with a few Questions for Reflections and Discussions which are meant to motivate you to reexamine your understanding of the reviewed and proposed ideas.
Essentials of Grammatical Theory: Volume 2
The grammar of a natural language is a group of structural constraints on the speaker's or writer's construction of clauses, phrases, and words. The term may also refer to the study of such restraints, a field that includes domains such as phonology, morphology and syntax, often complemented by phonetics, semantics and pragmatics. Theoretical linguistics has developed grammatical structures that seek to give an accurate scientific theory of the syntactic rules of grammar and their function. Functional grammar, dependency grammar and Montague grammar are some examples of such frameworks. Other frameworks, such as generative grammar, cognitive grammar and stochastic grammar, are based on an inherent universal grammar, where the object is placed into the verb phrase. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the essentials of grammatical theory. It provides comprehensive insights into this field. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
Introduction to Formal Grammar
Grammar is the description of language in terms of its form and structure, as opposed to its function and meaning. Formal grammar describes the formation of strings from a language's alphabet that are valid according to the syntax of the language. It consists of a set of rules used to identify correct or incorrect strings of tokens in a language. It is also used to generate all possible strings over the alphabet that is syntactically correct in the language. Formal grammar is studied under the umbrella of applied mathematics, within a sub-discipline termed as formal language theory. Its applications are found in theoretical computer science, theoretical linguistics, formal semantics, mathematical logic and other fields. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of formal grammar. It provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of this field. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.

What English Language Teachers Need to Know Volume III
Designed for pre-service and novice teachers in ELT,　What English Language Teachers Need to Know Volumes I, II, and III are companion textbooks organized around the key question: What do teachers need to know and be able to do in order to help their students to learn English?
Rhyme Over Reason
We are fascinated by what words sound like. This fascination also drives us to search for meaning in sound - thereby contradicting the principle of the arbitrariness of the linguistic sign. Phonesthemes, onomatopoeia or rhyming compounds all share the property of carrying meaning by virtue of what they sound like, simply because language users establish an association between form and meaning. By drawing on a wide array of examples, ranging from conventionalized words and expressions to brand names and slogans, this book offers a comprehensive account of the role that sound symbolism and rhyme/alliteration plays in English, and by doing so, advocates a more relaxed view of the category 'morpheme' that is able to incorporate less regular word-formation processes.
Phonological Tone
From the physiology and acoustics to their patterning across human languages, tone is one of the fundamental constructs in human languages that is also among the hardest to apprehend. Drawing upon a large number of languages around the world, this volume explores the concept of tone starting from its physical properties of articulation and acoustics to its manifestation in phonology. Designed as a comprehensive study accessible to the novice and useful for the expert, each chapter covers a particular aspect of tone in increasing depth and complexity, weaving together key concepts and theories that provide complementing or competing accounts of tone's phonological intricacies. In the process, one uncovers the underlying laws and principles that inform today's understanding of the subject to form a more synthesized view that also allows us to explore the relation of tone to other important areas of humanity such as literature, history, music and cognition.

The English Phrasal Verb, 1650-Present
Providing a detailed and comprehensive account of the development of phrasal verbs from early modern to present-day English, this study covers almost 400 years in the history of English, and provides both a diachronic and synchronic account based on over 12,000 examples extracted from stratified electronic corpora. The corpus analysis provides evidence of how registers can inform us about the history of English, as it traces and compares the usage and stylistic drifts of phrasal verbs across ten different genres - drama, fiction, journals, diaries, letters, medicine, news, science, sermons, and trial proceedings. The study also sheds new light on the morpho-syntactic and semantic features of phrasal verbs, proposing a new approach to the category, considering not only on their grammatical features, but also their historical development, by discussing the category in terms of a number of central mechanisms of language change.
Grammaticality Judgements: A Linguistic Perspective
Grammaticality in linguistics is decided by the conformity to language usage corresponding to the grammar of a particular speech variety. The concept of grammaticality grew along with the theory of generative grammar, which aims to construct rules that define well-formed, grammatical, sentences. A grammaticality judgement is a speaker's assessment of the extent to which a linguistic string is well formed. It is based on whether the sentence is interpreted according to the rules and constraints of the relevant grammar. If the rules and constraints of the particular variety are followed, the sentence is considered to be grammatical. Linguists use grammaticality judgements to examine the syntactic structure of sentences. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of grammaticality judgements and related fields. It aims to give a general view of the different areas of this field, and its applications. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.

An Introduction to English Lexicology
Lexicology is about words, their meanings and the relationships between them, their origins and their structure. It combines the study of derivational morphology with lexical semantics. This textbook explores the history, meanings and structure of words, the way they are collected in dictionaries and the way they are stored in our minds. It goes beyond examining the morphological structure of words to examine the way words are spelt and the way they sound. At every stage, the book focuses not only on description, but also on the puzzles that words present. Supported by numerous examples, exercises, discussion questions, suggestions for further reading and a glossary, this is an accessible and lively guide to the linguistic study of English through the consideration of words.

Universal Semantic Syntax
Syntactic theory has been dominated in the last decades by theories that disregard semantics in their approach to syntax. Presenting a truly semantic approach to syntax, this book takes as its primary starting point the idea that syntax deals with the relations between meanings expressed by form-meaning elements and that the same types of relations can be found cross-linguistically. The theory provides a way to formalize the syntactic relations between meanings so that each fragment of grammar can be analyzed in a clear-cut way. A comprehensive introduction into the theoretical concepts of the theory is provided, with analyzes of numerous examples in English and various other languages, European and non-European, to illustrate the concepts. The theory discussed will enable linguists to look for similarities between languages, while at the same time acknowledging important language specific features.
