A Student’s Introduction to English Grammar

Description

This weighty undergrad reading material on modem Standard

English syntax is the first to be founded on the progressive advances of

the creators’ past work, The Cambridge Grammar of the English

Language (2002), champ of the 2004 Leonard Bloomfield Book Award of

the Linguistic Society of America. The examinations guarded there are delineated here more quickly, in an engagingly open and casual style.

Blunders of the more established convention of English language are noted and rectified,

what’s more, the overabundances of prescriptive use manuals are immovably disproved in uncommonly featured notes that clarify what more seasoned specialists have called

‘off base’ and show why those specialists are mixed up.
