“It is interesting and relevant to juxtapose the contents and approaches of these two books as they both deal with similar challenging and pertinent issues and concerns regarding the English language” (Gill 2002).
“These two books should be recommended as compulsory reading for students, linguists, and language teachers in the field of the English Language” (Gill 2002).
