Product Description
English Grammar: The Basics offers a clear non-jargonistic introduction to English grammar and its place in society.

Readers will consider: • what grammar is and how it fits into the structure of language; • how grammar functions in the school curriculum the press broadcasting and social media as well as how these outlets reflect and reinforce our attitudes towards grammar; • differences between speech and writing as well as between formality and informality; • major different approaches to theorising and describing grammar from important grammarians including Noam Chomsky and Michael Halliday. Featuring a glossary of key terms and practical tips and insights from the author's 50+ years of language teaching experience around the world this book is for anyone who has ever found themselves questioning the ‘rules’ of the English language.|English Grammar: The Basics | Linguistics
