Writing Essays in English Language and Linguistics
English language and linguistics shares many of its writing conventions with other
disciplines, but there are certain features – ‘ways of doing things’ – and expectations
that distinguish it as a subject. This book is written specifically to help undergraduate
students of English language and linguistics develop the art of writing essays, projects
and reports. Written by an author with over thirty years’ experience of lecturing in the
subject, it is a comprehensive and very readable resource, and contains numerous
discipline-related examples, practice exercises and an answer key. It includes chapters
on referencing (including plagiarism, paraphrase and guidance on referencing styles),
stylistic issues that often get overlooked, and writing a dissertation. The book offers
practical guidance and a layout that guides students as they work though their
project. It will be an invaluable reference tool that students can read cover to
cover or dip into as and when required.
NEIL MURRAY is Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics and a member of the
Research Centre for Languages and Cultures at the University of South Australia.
