Explains what grammar really is, why languages have to have it, and
how different languages exploit it. An introduction by leading
grammar expert Michael Swan on the theoretical and pedagogical
approaches to grammatical description, the notion of 'universal
grammar', the role of grammar in establishing social and
educational norms, and the possible future grammar of International
English. The author shows that grammar need not be tedious at all,
but provides fascinating insights into the different ways in which
we conceive of the world and communicate with others.
