Answering key questions such as "Why study grammar?" and "What is standard English?" Introducing English Grammar guides readers through the practical analysis of the syntax of English sentences.
With all special terms carefully explained as they are introduced, the book is written for readers with no previous experience of grammatical analysis. It is ideal for all those beginning their study of linguistics, English Language, or speech pathology, as well as students with primarily literary interests who need to cover the basics of linguistic analysis.
The approach taken is in line with current research in grammar, a particular advantage for students who may go on to study syntax in more depth. All the examples and exercies use real language taken from newspaper articles, non-standard dialects and include excerpts from studies of patients with language difficulties. Students are encouraged to think about the terminology as a tool kit for studying language and to test what can and cannot be described using these tools.
This new edition has been fully revised in line with recent research. There is a new chapter on world English, a new glossaryand a free website with extensive further reading.
It's always good to see Australian data samples in a textbook. One of the less technical introductory books I've read, can be a bit messy in its explanations but nonetheless refreshing and informative.

评分作为教材来说非常可爱,作者的语言很活泼,透着冷冷的幽默感,而且很接地气(某一章里甚至举了我最喜欢的美国成人动画做案例)。据说作者也是曼大的老师,好希望有机会遇见。
