Abstract:
This Introduction provides a lively and clearly written textbook. It
introduces basic concepts of grammar in a format which inspires the
reader to use linguistic arguments. The style of the book is engaging
and examples from poetry, jokes, and puns illustrate grammatical
concepts.The focus is on syntactic analysis and evidence. However,
special topic sections contribute sociolinguistic and historical
reasons behind prescriptive rules such as the bans on split
infinitives, dangling participles, and preposition stranding.The book
is structured for a semester-long course. It provides exercises, keys
to those exercises, and sample exams. It also includes a comprehensive
glossary and suggestions for further reading.
