Synopsis: The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language is the first comprehensive descriptive grammar of English to appear for over fifteen years, a period which has seen immense developments in linguistic theory at all levels. The principal authors, Rodney Huddleston and Geoffrey Pullum, are among the world's leading scholars in this area, and they have benefited from the expertise of an international team of distinguished contributors in preparing what will be the definitive grammar for decades to come. Each chapter comprises core definitions, detailed analyses, notes explaining alternative interpretations of difficult or controversial points, and brief notes on usage and history. Numerous cross-references and an exhaustive index ensure ease of access to information. An introductory section offers guidance as to how best to use the book is provided. Rodney Huddleston was until recently Professor in the Linguistics section of the Department of English at the University of Queensland, Australia, and has been publishing important books and papers on English grammar for thirty years. Geoffrey K. Pullum is Professor of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and is the author of 200 articles and books on English grammar and a variety of other topics in theoretical and applied linguistics.
Book Description: This is a detailed grammar designed for anyone with an interest in the grammatical structure of English. Presupposing no prior study of linguistics, it provides clear explanations of all grammatical terms and concepts used. The language described is Standard English as internationally used, but this is a new description, drawing insight from research in modern linguistics and avoiding many of the errors and fallacies that are repeated in more old-fashioned grammar books. The book features sentence diagrams, thorough cross-referencing, a guide to further reading, lexical and conceptual indexes, and user-friendly design and typography utilizing a unique two-color page format.

Book Description hardcover. Condition: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - .leichte Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt - This book presents a new and comprehensive descriptive grammar of English, written by the principal authors in collaboration with an international research team of a dozen linguists in five countries. It represents a major advance over previous grammars by virtue of drawing systematically on the linguistic research carried out on English during the last forty years. It incorporates insights from the theoretical literature but presents them in a way that is accessible to readers without formal training in linguistics. It is based on a sounder and more consistent descriptive framework than previous large-scale grammars, and includes much more explanation of grammatical terms and concepts, together with justification for the ways in which the analysis differs from traditional grammar. The book contains twenty chapters and a guide to further reading. Its usefulness is enhanced by diagrams of sentence structure, cross-references between sections, a comprehensive index, and user-friendly design and typography throughout.
