Select bibliography English linguistics

This bibliography lists both introductory books as well as standard works for the most important disciplines of English linguistics. In addition some 'special' sections refer to topics which might be considered less mainstream.

This list (here especially the sections 2, 3 and 4) is supposed to serve two major pur -poses:

a) as a guide for students for the preparation of special topics in oral and written exams (however, consultation with the respective supervisors or examiners might still be necessary),cf. Anforderungsprofil L-UF: Sprachwissenschaft and Orientierungshilfe Staatsexamen Englische Sprachwissenschaft, see: http://www.english-linguistics.uni-bayreuth.de/de/index.html

b) as a starting point for the study of previously unfamiliar topics or disciplines.
