"Teachers of English are always on the lookout for insights they can pass on to their students about why we use words as we do. Through clear, accessible explanations and abundant examples, Word Knowledge breaks down the various aspects of knowing a word and focuses on each aspect in turn: meaning, collocation, grammatical features, word parts, and appropriateness. Being aware of all that goes into knowing a word helps students-and teachers-develop skills that Will make their insights valuable to the lifelong adventure of word learning."--BOOK JACKET.
