Recenzii
"This unique book systematically guides students through structural, semantic, and strategic criteria to help them distinguish such difficult pairs as affect/effect, principal/principle, farther/further. Simultaneously, students learn the basics of structural linguistics. Copious exercises and other mnemonics facilitate internalization of the targeted distinctions."
D. Gary Miller, University of Colorado Boulder, USA.
"Language learners are often told just to memorize words from the dictionary, but that makes language look like a mess of irregular and arbitrary words. Aygen and Eastlund identify common errors and explain how linguistic form, meaning, and structure can be used to correct these mistakes. This book provides advanced English learners with the tools they need to figure out the regularities of language, giving them practice at linguistic skills to make their own linguistic generalizations. Aygen and Eastlund have created a very useful text, full of exercises which clearly test progress. It's an incredible resource for both learners and teachers."
Claire Bowern, Yale University, USA.
"Teachers of writing most often focus on such global concerns as organization, development, and coherence. At the same time, learners, especially English learners, can concern themselves with making appropriate choices at the word level. An instructor’s prescriptive approach offers general rules and sometimes admonishments. As a wise alternative, Aygen and Eastlund, in their Word Choice Errors: A Descriptive Linguistics Approach, show students how to interrogate errors to understand their causes and then devise practices that will help them to become more precise and confident writers. This useful book helps emerging writers to make choices based on linguistic principles and not based on recall of prescriptions nor intuition."

Descriere
American English has many word pairs and trios that are alike enough to be confusing. Word Choice Errors provides a novel way to empower writers of all levels to cut through the confusion to understand which word to use and why that’s the word to use.
