This clear and concise introduction offers students of linguistics
and English language a comprehensive overview of English grammar,
including word structure, major and minor word classes, phrases,
clauses and sentences. Based on twenty years' teaching practice,
Louise Cummings adopts a unique approach of using three real-world
contexts - first language acquisition, language disorders and
non-standard dialects - as a pedagogical tool to make grammatical
concepts meaningful to students and to improve engagement and
understanding. In seven accessible chapters, students are
encouraged to develop the analytical skills they require to give a
comprehensive description of the grammar of the English language. A
range of supportive learning aids is used, including: * Learning
objectives and section 'key points' summaries * Varied examples
from world Englishes and print media * Homework assignments,
exercises and revision questions * Targeted further reading
suggestions and 'special topics' boxes * A glossary of 300 entries
* An extensive range of online resources for instructors and
students, including a test bank of 140 multiple-choice questions,
useful links and an answer key.
