`An in-depth explanation of grammatical terms for writers, those
who teach writing and grammar, or who love words and their
combinations. This is a world of information in an inexpensive
package.'
Library Journal
`In this second edition, Bas Aarts, as a leading academic
grammarian, has added his authority to an already highly-respected
vade mecum to English grammar. The comprehensive up-to-date
coverage of the book brings a balanced in-depth treatment of the
variant grammatical terminologies that can be so confusing. This
makes it an indispensable reference guide for students, teachers,
academics and anyone challenged or fascinated by the world of
English
grammar.'
Professor Geoffrey Leech, Lancaster University
`Review from previous edition grammar as the total system of the
language ... well defined and well illustrated with quotations from
grammarians ancient and modern."'
Times Literary Supplement
`This is an excellent, scholarly work, yet outstandingly practical
and genuinely accessible by any reader seeking better to understand
existing grammar texts.'
