Books by Professor Taher Badinjki

This book comes in response to the needs of users of English for the correct usage of vocabulary and expressions and the accurate distinction among their meanings, especially those that are similar in spelling and writing but have different pronunciations and different meanings and those that are similar in pronunciation and sound the same but have different meanings or words that sound the same but are spelled and used differently. The book is concerned with the linguistic and syntactic usage of these words and the differences between them. It is an important reference for learners of English, researchers, specialists, and teachers of English. It explains the proper use of a pair or more of similar words and shows the correct usage of each one of them and provides a semantic analytical study of them. It gives a full explanation of the meaning of each word in both English and Arabic and uses it in a sentence to show the correct context, the grammatical part of speech of every word, and how it functions in meaning as well as grammatically within the sentence. Moreover, the book indicates the IPA phonetic transcription of each main entry, elucidates the anomalous plurals of nouns, and highlights variations between the American and British spelling when they occur.
