Reconnecting Language: Morphology and Syntax in Functional Perspectives
The functional perspective on language which underlies the contributions to this volume calls for abandoning the "isolationist" approach which has characterized much of 20th-century linguistics and for a return to an integrated approach.
When it comes to language studies where do theory and practice meet? Written by Melinda Whong, an experienced ELT lecturer, this textbook is the first to provide a linguistics-based perspective on language teaching.The text offers a brief historical survey on the ways in which language has been viewed and highlights the implications of these perspectives for language teaching. Current linguistic approaches are described -- formal, functional and cognitive -- and how these perspectives translate into classroom practice.
