Features: A Guide to Contemporary English Usage (originally titled Contemporary English Change) primarily introduces the changes that have occurred in English over the past half-century. It is well-known that the changes in contemporary English are significant. However, what specific changes have taken place? How extensive are these changes? What are the perspectives of linguistics on these changes? How should they be mastered in the use of English? These are all questions of great concern to people, and the editor has strived to provide answers in the book. The book is divided into four parts: Overview, Phonetics, Grammar, and Vocabulary, making it a practical reference book. During the writing process, efforts were made to keep the content simple and clear, and the language easy to understand. All the "changes" cited in the book are supported by examples, analyzed, and compared, aiming for precision.
