Critics Review
“This fourth edition retains the remarkably clear exposition and coverage of all the linguistic nuts and bolts a student needs to know. In addition, complementing the current chapter on present-day variation, there is a new extensive and richly illustrated chapter on the development of English. All this, coupled with new exercises and prompts to enhance the learning experience, cements Ballard’s book as the English language textbook of choice.”
– Jonathan Culpeper, University of Lancaster, UK.“Over the years, The Frameworks of English has developed into a veritable linguistic treasure trove. Kim Ballard strikes a nice balance between breadth of coverage and level of detail, making this book an essential tool for introductory courses.”
– Cristiano Broccias, University of Genoa, Italy.Kim Ballard
