Essentials of Mastering English: A Concise Grammar is aimed
specifically at undergraduate students of English (native and
non-native) at universities, business schools and teachers' training
colleges. It is correspondingly less detailed, and difficult topics
have been made more easily accessible. It provides an introduction to
basic grammatical terms and to elementary syntactic description,
enabling students to analyse sentences and utterances down to word
level with a specification of both the form and the function of all
constituents.
The book offers a thorough treatment of a great number of significant
areas in English grammar: subject-predicator concord, tense, aspect,
mood, modal verbs, determiners, the genitive, comparison, voice,
negation, constituent order (including subject-predicator inversion,
position and order of modifiers and adverbials, topicalization and
focalization, extraposition, dislocation and clefting), etc. All
rule-presentation is richly exemplified.
In addition to a word index and a subject index, it includes a
comprehensive glossary, in which all important terms and concepts
employed in the grammar are briefly defined and exemplified.
In a separate appendix the author provides tips on pronunciation and
spelling in connection with the inflection of verbs, nouns, adjectives
and adverbs.
Essentials of Mastering English:A Concise Grammar is both an ideal
companion for students wishing to acquire a high level of grammatical
proficiency and a readily accessible reference work for teachers of
English at all levels.

Subject: Finno-Ugrian Society e-mail address correction
Correction: in the previous book notice about new books published by
the Finno-Ugrian Society, there was an outdated e-mail address. The
address of the bookstore "Tiedekirja" (maintained by the Federation of
Finnish Learned Societies) isn't "tiedekirja at pp.kolumbus.fi" any more
- the address should be
tiedekirja at tsv.fi
