                      A Student’s Introduction to English Grammar
                      This groundbreaking undergraduate textbook on modern Standard
                      English grammar is the first to be based on the revolutionary advances of
                      the authors’ previous work, The Cambridge Grammar of the English
                      Language (2002),winner of the 2004 Leonard Bloomfield Book Award of
                      the Linguistic Society of America. The analyses defended there are out-
                      lined here more briefly, in an engagingly accessible and informal style.
                      Errors of the older tradition of English grammar are noted and corrected,
                      and the excesses of prescriptive usage manuals are firmly rebutted in spe-
                      cially highlighted notes that explain what older authorities have called
                      ‘incorrect’and show why those authorities are mistaken.
                        This book is intended for students in colleges or universities who have
                      little or no previous background in grammar, and presupposes no linguis-
                      tics. It contains exercises and a wealth of other features, and will provide
                      a basis for introductions to grammar and courses on the structure of
                      English not only in linguistics departments but also in English language
                      and literature departments and schools of education. Students will achieve
                      an accurate understanding of grammar that will both enhance their lan-
                      guage skills and provide a solid grounding for further linguistic study.
