The Penguin Dictionary of English Grammar (Paperback)

An understanding of grammar enables us to see how language works and how to use it in the right ways. This clear, succinct and up-to-date dictionary, which covers virtually every significant grammatical term, is ideal for teachers, students and anyone who wants to write correctly (without sounding old-fashioned or fussily pedantic). It provides:

• Crisp, practical definitions of all the central concepts and their application: from abbreviation, abstract noun and adverb to verb, word order and yes-no question
• Authoritative guidance through the minefield of more technical terms (and those mainly applicable to other languages): accusative, attraction, backshift, common gender, dummy
• Extensive coverage of recent innovations and the ideas introduced by leading scholars such as Noam Chomsky and Randolph Quirk: complement clause, noun phrase, subject raising
• Lively examples of current usage
