Published in the university series ‘UTB Basics’, Annette Becker and Markus Bieswanger’s Introduction to English Linguistics does a fine job as a basic textbook for undergraduate students studying linguistics. The volume gives a systematic overview of the major fields of linguistics from phonology to sociolinguistics, discussing fundamental linguistic theories with clarity and ease. Numerous examples, figures and exercises contribute to its student-friendliness and help fulfil the authors’ promise to provide a textbook for undergraduates with no prior knowledge of linguistics. Hence its suitability as a reference book both for teachers of introductory courses and for undergraduates preparing for an exam in linguistics.
