English Grammar,
Adapted to the Different
Classes of Learners Murray.s grammar is subtitled .adapted to the different classes of leaners., and, as a result of a strict division into main text and additional linguistic information, it is a graded grammar. It would thus appear to be suitable for learners of different ages. This was one of the reasons for the grammar.s phenomenal popularity.
Murray.s grammar is to a large extent based on Lowth.s (Vorlat 1959), but it also differs in a number of respects. Furthermore, the second half of the eighteenth century saw the birth of grammars written specifically for children, for which there proved to be a real market (Navest 2005). In this paper, I will discuss the question of whether - as would appear to be the case - it was Lowth.s grammar which gave the impetus to this development or not, and what it was that made his grammar unsuitable for children. I will do so by focussing on Lowth.s methodology in codifying the English language and contrasting it with that adopted by Murray and others of the period, thereby taking into account a number of specific linguistic strictures discussed in the grammars. As these grammars were primarily aimed at the rising middle classes (Fitzmaurice1998), I will also argue that the presence of some of these linguistic strictures in the grammars can be explained by what was considered to be a real threat at the time: the possibile linguistic contamination by English nannies in the language acquisition process of young children.

I hated this book so much, especially in certain terms ;), but it is really useful for those who study English for Academic purposes at university and are willing to sacrifice their precious time for such a detailed analysis of English poetry.
Seeks to demonstrate that the study of English poetry is enriched by the insights of modern linguistic analysis, and that linguistic and critical disciplines are not separate but complementary. Examining a wide range of poetry, Professor Leech considers many aspects of poetic style, including the language of past and present, creative language, poetic licence, repetition, sound, metre, context and ambiguity.
