A PhraseBook to Help You Write, Present and Publish in English

From Introducing your Work, Arguing For and Against, Method, Analysis, Reviewing other Work, Presenting Results to Summary and Conclusions. Grouped by topic to find words and phrases easily.

Written by PhD authors, the PhraseBook is specially designed for non-native speakers. Writing Help sections give advice on university and research writing in English, helping you avoid many common errors. Main sections include Style, Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Vocabulary.

The PhraseBook is used in over 30 countries in subjects ranging from Medicine, Engineering, Science and Technology to Law, Business and Economics, Political Science, Geography, History, Sociology, Psychology, Language and Education.

Suitable for university and research writing from student to researcher and faculty level.

Over 5000 Words and Phrases

Written by PhD authors, phrases are divided into around 30 main sections that follow the structure of university and research writing, such as Introducing a Study, Defining the Scope of a Study, Arguing For and Against, Reviewing Other Work, Summarizing and Conclusions. Many sections are further divided, for example the Relationship to previous work, Contrasting work and the Limitations of current knowledge. Read more...

The PhraseBook also includes a glossary with common university and research terminology. A great deal of English academic vocabulary derives from Latin and Greek. Given the large number of foreign elements in English university and research vocabulary, it can be difficult to guess the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Knowledge of some Greek and Latin helps to decipher the meaning of many terms, not least for speakers from parts of the world with other classical languages. Read more...

The PhraseBook includes Writing Help sections on Grammar, Style and Punctuation. These sections help you avoid many common errors in English before submitting your text. Read more...

The PhraseBook is both a useful classroom tool for teachers and a self-study book for students. Rather than concentrating on rules and exceptions as many books, the PhraseBook focuses on writing, providing the tools for students to write in their subject. Read more...

The PhraseBook thesaurus is specifically compiled for university and research writing, and contains both synonyms (words with a similar meaning) and antonyms (words with the opposite meaning). The thesaurus helps you build a richer vocabulary in English and avoid using the same expressions over and again. Read more...

The PhraseBook is suitable for writing for all English-speaking countries, including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa. British and American alternatives are given throughout the PhraseBook, and a detailed list of British-US spelling differences is given in the Writing Help section. Read more...

'this material, prepared by experienced editors, is certainly very useful'

Indispensable book for non-native speakers

'There are various books dedicated for writing papers and scientific reports for non-native English speakers. To put thoughts on paper usually is not a trivial task for many students and practitioners even in their mother tongue. This task grows enormously if paper has to be written in English by a non-native English speaker. Therefore any assistance, which can improve writing skills and style and reduce hardship of communicating in English with power and a few words, becomes indispensable. The "PhraseBook for Writing Papers and Research in English" serves this purpose splendidly. It is one of a few books, which really helps me, a non-native English speaker, in my work. Unlike many related books and guides, the Phrasebook allows the users to work on own writing; improve the text structure; expand the text with phrases and words most frequently used in academic English. It also encourages the users to improve their vocabulary by suggesting alternative expressions, helping them to familiarize themselves with scientific terminology, give their writing greater richness and variety. I enjoy working with this book and believe if you apply the recommendations, it will produce better a written more polished text. Highly recommended.' Reviewer, Amazon.com.
