This textbook is an introduction to the phenomena and processes of language change and variation in the English language in the past as today. The volume describes how English varies in geographical as well as in occupational/disciplinary settings; the aim is to provide students, who study English as a foreign language in mainstream courses in Italian Universities, the basic notions to better understand to what extent English differs according to the geographical and/or the domain specific context. The textbook is for students with an intermediate/ advanced level of English (b2/c1 level of the cefr). Practice activities, already tested during lessons, complete each chapter and can be used during classes as well as for individual study.
Scritto in lingua inglese, il manuale è un'introduzione ai processi e ai fenomeni di variazione in lingua inglese. La novità del volume consiste nell'associare alla variazione diatopica quella diafasica, anziché diacronica o diastratica, fornendo agli studenti italiani di lingua inglese (livello da intermedio ad avanzato) gli strumenti base per affrontare con consapevolezza le varietà della lingua inglese in contesti geografici e professionali. Esercitazioni già testate in classe accompagnano le sezioni descrittive.
