From the Back Cover
The third edition of this acclaimed introduction to English grammar equips students with the tools they need to critically engage and really get under the skin of all sorts of texts. The first part of the book locates the study of grammar within its broader context and presents clearly the various grammatical categories, and later chapters go on to show how these methods can be applied by students in their own reading and technical understanding of various types of texts.
The third edition of English Grammar: An Introduction:
· Contextualises grammar through a clear step-by-step presentation, supported by practical exercises at the end of each chapter
· Has been expanded with new material, including more information about morphology, more examples and critical analysis of texts
· Has been revised and updated throughout, with several grammatical descriptions rewritten for clarity
Combining contemporary linguistic approaches with the familiar terms of traditional grammar, this lively introduction to a central field in language study is a valuable companion for both students and teachers of English grammar.
