Résumé

'This edition of English Grammar for Today responds superbly to the requirements of contemporary students and scholars alike, and is of very significant value in understanding, describing and appreciating English in all its varied forms.' Elaine Treharne, President of the English Association

Written by a team led by a world authority in English grammar, English Grammar for Today has established itself as a rich educational experience for both native- and non-native-speaking students. After an introduction placing grammar in its educational and cultural context, the book offers a thorough but accessible 6-chapter introduction to grammar which is then applied, in remaining chapters, to a wide range of subjects involving textual analysis. This new edition has been thoroughly updated with additional introductory material and extended diagrams, exercises and answers.
