Description:
This book is an introductory textbook on modern Standard English grammar,
intended mainly for undergraduates, in English departments and schools of education
as well as linguistics departments. (See www.cambridge.org/0521612888 for a
link to the associated web site, where additional information can be found.) Though
it takes note of developments in linguistics over the past few decades, and assumes a
thorough knowledge of English, it does not presuppose any previous study of grammar
or other aspects of linguistics.
