The course is an introduction to the structures of the English language and its spread in the world. It offers an overview of the historical development of English, of its main geographical varieties in the world, of its functions in various social contexts and of the historical, political and cultural reasons which explain its current international role. Then the course describes in detail English phonology, morphology and syntax, lexis and phraseology, providing contrastive insights into the main differences from Italian.
