A shorter, revised edition of the acclaimed
A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language
While retaining the structure of that book, it focuses on
students who require depth of treatment and clear presentation with
detailed exemplification.
Draws on the most recent research, including new findings in semantics, pragmatics, and text linguistics as well as grammar.
Discourse features are dealt with throughout, as well as being the theme of one major chapter: "From Sentence to Text".
Differentiates between written and spoken, formal and informal, and British and American English.
