Winner of the Swedish National Language Council s Erik Wellander
Prize, 2003
Swedish: A Comprehensive Grammar is an award-winning complete
reference guide to modern Swedish grammar. Systematic and
accessible, the volume is organised to promote a thorough
understanding of Swedish grammar, presenting the complexities of
Swedish in a concise and readable form. Explanations are full,
clear and free of jargon, and an extensive index, numbered
paragraphs, cross-references and summary charts provide readers
with easy access to the information they require.
Now in its third edition, the text has been comprehensively
updated to conform to new standards set in the description of
language and to reflect the recommendations of the Language Council
of Sweden. It offers an improved layout, completely revised index
and more user-friendly paragraph structure. Continuing the
tradition of previous editions, the emphasis remains fixed on
Swedish in everyday communication, drawing on modern corpus
material, the internet and the media to provide high frequency
words and expressions. Examples have been modernised throughout and
new content takes account of recent trends resulting from the
increasing democratisation of written Swedish.
Features include:
- detailed treatment of grammatical structures and parts of
speech
- a wealth of examples from present-day Swedish
- particular attention to areas of confusion and difficulty for
learners
- Swedish/English contrasts highlighted throughout the book
- chapters on word formation, orthography and punctuation.
Swedish: A Comprehensive Grammar is the most thorough and
detailed Swedish grammar available in English and is an essential
reference source for the learner and user of Swedish, irrespective
of level. It is ideal for use in schools, colleges, universities
and adult classes of all types.
