Reviews
This is a well-thought-out textbook that has been a staple introduction to many core linguistic notions and to the analysis of aspects of the meaning, structure and evolution of English words. The main updates have involved the inclusion of fresh material presenting innovations in the vocabulary that have been triggered by the digital revolution and changes in society in recent years. The book is very accessible and contains an abundance of in-text exercises that keep the reader actively engaged. It is a suitable text for beginning university students of either English language or linguistics. * Francis Katamba, Professor of Linguistics, Lancaster University, UK *
The third edition of Jackson and Amvela's English Lexicology is an extremely practical introduction to the lexicology of English. It covers all the basic aspects of the field in an engaging and accessible manner and supports understanding with numerous examples, exercises (plus a key), and a convenient glossary of the terms. * Stephan Gramley, Director of Studies (English Linguistics), University of Bielefeld, Germany *
