Wow, I actually for once read a book for university cover to cover!
Though this book has everything you need for a English Linguistics basic module exam, I don't particularly like it.
First of all it's butt ugly. What were they thinking when they gave it a baby pink and baby blue cover? Is this supposed to represent English Linguistics as infantile?
Secondly, the layouter obviously never heard anything about readability. The text is way too small and too close to the spine of the book, show more making it sometimes painful to read this book. There also could have been more chapterisation in order to make it easier to find what you're looking for.
And thirdly, the pages are too thick.
My advice: get a better cover, make the pages thinner, the font bigger and find a new concept for the keywords at the side of the pages. Then I probably wouldn't have anything to complain. show less
