Abstract
The central themes of this book are not so much ‘linguistics’ as ‘language’ and ‘learners’. It is designed for a particular audience — learners of modern European languages who are not content with merely ‘getting by’ but wish to use those languages with a high degree of proficiency, and who are interested in the users of languages and their social setting.
