This textbook familiarizes students with grammatical concepts of the English language and develops skills to apply grammar to creative writing and the study of literature.

The book offers an in-depth exploration of the diverse vocabulary of the Cypriot dialect, reflecting the island's complex history. It examines the socio-cultural influences that led to the integration of foreign words from Romance, Arabic, Turkish, and English into the local lexicon. The study highlights how these borrowed terms became nativized, blending seamlessly with native language elements. It also discusses the dynamics of lexical borrowing, social integration, and the modifications that foreign words undergo in terms of phonology, morphology, and semantics.
