Howard Jackson instructs readers through the core branches of linguistic analysis — including phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics — making complex concepts accessible to students encountering the discipline for the first time. Written in a precise yet approachable tone, the text illustrates each theoretical concept with carefully chosen examples drawn directly from everyday English usage. Jackson argues that a rigorous, descriptive approach — one that documents language as it is actually used rather than prescribing how it ought to be — is essential to genuine linguistic understanding. Ideal for undergraduate students and language enthusiasts alike, this introduction provides a solid grounding in the analytical tools needed to examine English with both accuracy and intellectual confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826034651355,"sku":"2026770000300-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/36400e7b-f6b0-427d-b15a-4a50b05acf81.png?v=1780311317","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000300-secondhand-analyzing-english-an-introduction-to-descriptive-linguistics","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
