一、《实用英语文体学》是依据我国高等院校英语专业《英语文体学》教学大纲(1984)编写的，可供高等(师范)院校英语专业本科高年级学生使用，也可供研究生和青年教师参考。
二、本教材自1981年起就在北京师范大学英语专业高年级和研究生班使用；北京外国语学院英语研修班、中山大学、南京解放军国际关系学院也曾全部或部分采用过这个教材。在此期间，笔者曾对教材作过四次较大的修改。
三、本书的重点是当代英语非文学语言的语体分析。本书分两个单元。第一单元第一章介绍了语体分析所必需的术语和语言分析方法。第二至第四章所归纳的语体特点可供分析时查阅，教师应根据学生实际水平择要讲解，不必拘泥。第二单元介绍了几种常见的英语语体，使学生较系统地了解这几种语体的典型特点，以提高对英语语体的敏感性。
四、现实生活中的语言运用千变万化，绝不是几个简单的语体常规“型式”所能概括的。但学生如果掌握了这些“型式”的特点，就能大致判断出某一语篇(口语或笔语)的文体与某种语体常规的共同点或差距，可以进一步探讨语言使用者如何受某语境因素(如对象、目的、场合等)的影响而遵守或违背常规。这就是对语体的敏感性的提高。因此本书重视分析练习，书后附有分析范例。学生做这种练习，可能会觉得枯燥，但是，认真做过这种练习的学生，都认为这是一种较快掌握语体特点的途径，有助于加深理解和提高运用英语的能力。
五、本书得益于国内前辈和同行的鼓励和批评以及学生的反馈。英国兰开斯特大学语言学和现代英语系主任肖特(MichaelH．Short)先生也曾阅过部分初稿。本书由北京大学胡壮麟教授主审。北京大学、北京外国语学院、对外经济贸易大学、南京大学、中山大学、华中师范大学等院校的同行参加了审稿会。
