In 2012 we continue to expand our diverse range of textbooks, reference books and monographs. We hope you will find many new books of interest. Some highlights:
We kick off the year with two exciting new textbooks: Norman and Isabela Fairclough’s Political Discourse Analysis and Introducing Multilingualism, by Jean-Jacques Weber and Kristine Horner.
We are also delighted to announce two major new editions: Rob Pope’s Studying English Language and Literature (previously published as The English Studies Book) and the third edition of Jeremy Munday’s bestselling textbook, Introducing Translation Studies, now with full companion website, including video interviews to accompany every chapter: www.routledge.com/textbooks/munday.
Don’t miss the Open University co-published textbook series, Worlds of English. In March we launch a new strand to our programme, Routledge Linguistics Classics. We are drawing on our rich heritage to reissue and update four seminal linguistics texts: Verbal Hygiene, Authority in Language, Local Literacies and Vocabulary: Applied Linguistic Perspectives.
More publishing highlights can be seen below or simply click on the subject area you are interested in on the left hand side of this page. This catalogue represents a small selection of our list, to see our full range of titles visit www.routledge.com/linguistics.
