This groundbreaking undergraduate textbook on modern Standard English grammar is the first to be based on the revolutionary advances of the authors' previous work, The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language (2002). The text is intended for students in colleges or universities who have little or no previous background in grammar, and presupposes no linguistics. It contains exercises, and will provide a basis for introductions to grammar and courses on the structure of English, not only in linguistics departments but also in English language and literature departments and schools of education.

A Student's Introduction to English Grammar is primarily for undergraduates wanting to understand English sentence structure. It corrects the mistakes of earlier grammatical tradition both in its terminology and analytical distinctions and in its treatment of the facts--it is modern, accurate and up to date in both. Based on the authors' highly acclaimed earlier work The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, and containing exercises and special usage notes, it will be useful anywhere the English language is taught, whether to native speakers or to advanced learners.
