A Communicative Grammar of English (1st edition) by Geoffrey Leech and Jan Svartvik, first published in 1975, has established itself as a grammar innovative in approach, reliable in coverage, and clear in its explanations. It is one of the best books on grammar ever written and still provides an up-to-date and accessible resource for teachers, advanced learners and undergraduate students of English. A Communicative Grammar of English employs a communicative rather than a structural approach to the learning of English grammar. This edition is divided into three parts. Part One: Varieties of English , looks at the way English grammar varies in different types of English, for example 'formal' and 'informal', 'spoken' and 'written'. Part Two: Intonation. Part Three: Grammar in use - the central and largest part of the book, presents grammar through the eyes of the communicator and focuses on the uses of grammar rather than on grammatical structure. Part Four: Grammatical Compendium - provides a useful and alphabetically arranged guide to English grammar.

Modern English linguistics: A structural and transformational grammar by John P Broderick Modern English Linguistics showed how transformational grammar developed
out of American structuralist morphology and syntax. It then went on
to describe English grammar in some detail using the so-called "extended
standard theory" of transformational grammar described in Noam Chomsky's
book, Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. Despite considerable changes
in Chomsky's ideas in the 1980s and 1990s (as for example, government and
binding theory), linguistics textbooks continued to be published well into
the 1990s that were still based on the Aspects model.
