Books by Robert De Beaugrande

A magnum opus in the now vast domain of discourse studies, whose history, methods, and subdomains mobody knows as well as Robert de Beugrande.

It has long been an assumption in the field of English as a foreign language that those who speak the language as natives pronounce the way it should be taught.

An examination of a variety of linguistic theories, this book analyzes the work of such theorists as Ferdinand de Saussure, Edward Sapir, Noam Chomsky, and Kenneth Pike. The text concludes with a comparison of linguistics and language.
