Recenzii

"The major achievement of From Words to Grammar is that it takes a novel, deductive approach to grammar. It invites students to be linguistic detectives by studying different sentences containing a particular word, and then working out its meaning and grammatical characteristics – the result is a more sensitive and comprehensive understanding of how English grammar works. This book would be ideal for undergraduate students of English language and linguistics."
Ludwig Tan, SIM University, Singapore
"‘Noun or adjective? Phrasal or prepositional verb? Determiner or pronoun?'
Using specific words attested in real life examples, the author introduces the reader to grammatical concepts and to important features of English grammar. The innovative, practical approach, the authenticity of the examples and the non-technical language are only some of the book’s assets that will make it a valuable guide to learners at undergraduate and postgraduate level and to anyone who is interested in how English grammar works."
Marina Kolokonte, University of Kent, UK
