The Vocabulary Files C2

CEFR Level C2

The Vocabulary Files series consists of 5 Books, 64 pages each, for CEF Levels: A1- A2 - B1 - B2 - C1 - C2

The aim of the series is to give students the chance to expand their vocabulary in different areas.
Each unit deals with a common Vocabulary topic; the vocabulary is taught through a variety of exercises with lots of illustrations to make them more lively and interesting.

Level  B1-C2 in this series have been written for students who are planning to take the IELTS/Cambridge  exams. It covers some of the main vocabulary points that advanced candidates will need for the Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking sections of the exam.

The 15 units in the books  focus on topic-specific vocabulary areas, which may be required in the IELTS or Cambridge English exams (for example, economy, education, health, etc). Some Exercises focus on general vocabulary items, which can be used in all aspects of the English language.

The C1 & C2 books also focus on Academic  Word Lists. Students need to learn such words in order to get a high score at the IELTS, the Cambridge CPE or the TOEFL exam.

The Intonation of English Statements and Questions: A Compositional Interpretation

English sentence prosody provides cues to both focus structure and speaker attitude. Taking the phonological model of intonation developed by Pierrehumbert (1880 et seq.) as point of departure, this work illuminates the communicative function of English pitch contours by (1) giving a detailed survey of phrase-final contours found in statements and questions, and (2) investigating what attitudinal features determine choice of phrasal tones in these utterance types. This comprehensive study will be of interest to linguists in a number of fields, ranging from prosody to semantics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis.
