First published in 1986, this book examines the changing patterns
in English usage and style. It encourages a constructive attitude
to language, demonstrating the creative resources of grammar,
discussing in detail the options of written style, and challenging
the authoritarian spirit that inhibits usage. The central chapters
are concerned with written usage, and pay close attention to
questions of syntax and punctuation. The sense of writing, however,
is always related to speech, and the value of usage as a social act
is emphasised in the exploration of style as an individual
function. Technical terms are explained and the text is illustrated
with examples from literature and journalism.
