  • 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.
