An Introduction to English Grammar

Autor Gerald Nelson, Sidney Greenbaum
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2015
An Introduction to English Grammar provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of English grammar. The first part of the book (‘The Grammar’) provides a step-by-step introduction to the key topics in English grammar. The second part (‘The Applications’) shows how a grasp of these topics can be helpful in resolving usage problems, in developing a clear writing style, and in mastering punctuation and spelling. A whole chapter, ‘English in Use’, is devoted to illustrating the grammatical features of a wide range of modern text types, including emails, Facebook pages, and ‘tweets’. It also looks at the special grammatical features of English in everyday conversation.
Each chapter is followed by two sets of exercises. The first set can be used in self-study or in the classroom. The second set deals with more advanced topics, and can be used for classroom discussion or essay writing.
This fourth edition has been fully revised and updated and includes:
  • clearer descriptions and improved presentation
  • new material on word structure and word formation
  • new exercises, examples and extracts
  • updated further reading
Assuming no prior knowledge of English grammar, this book is ideal for beginning students on a one-semester course and provides everything a student needs on the theory and practice of English usage. A comprehensive Glossary of grammatical terms is included and a website provides invaluable additional exercises.

Recenzii

'This 4th edition of  'An Introduction to English Grammar', first published almost a quarter of a century ago, is testimony to the book’s enduring appeal. Gerald Nelson has managed to improve the attractiveness of this already successful textbook. Students will welcome the lucid and accessible style, the detailed demonstration of how the grammatical concepts presented are relevant to issues of usage and writing, the use of ‘real’ corpus-derived examples and extracts, and the up-to-date discussion of emails and tweets. Further user-friendly features include graded exercises, a comprehensive glossary and helpful suggestions for further reading.' Peter Craig Collins, University of New South Wales, Australia
