A book explaining basic knowledge of English linguistics. - Title: Basic Knowledge of English Linguistics - Author: Kazuhiro Nishida - Content: A book explaining basic knowledge of English linguistics. Thank you for viewing. Product Condition... The cover and back cover have some minor scratches, but are clean. However, the book has overall creasing. Also, there are quite a few roughly drawn lines, and since I read the book twice and drew lines for studying, there are many pages with lines drawn. I have included pages with many lines (please check photos 2 and 3).
