A University Grammar of EnglishA University Grammar of English

A University Grammar of English is a shorter version of A Grammar of Contemporary English on which the authors worked in collaboration with Geoffrey Leech and Jan Svartvik.
The structure of the parent book has been preserved so that reference can easily be made to it, though in many respects the authors have incorporated revisions, improvements, and expansions. The present treatment has been adapted to the needs of students who require maximum comprehensive-ness with maximum economy of presentation. The authors carefully indicate constructions which distinguish spoken from written, formal from informal, or British from American usage.

The book provides a clear and concise description of current views on the theories of Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Most probably an abridged  publication of a doctoral dissertation. From the point of view of the student this is an ideal starting point for further library research, as the book provides a sound bibliography and is amply annotated in the main text.

A must read for anyone writing a thesis in SLA, teaching English as a FL (Foreign Language) or SL (Second Language).
