Abstract:

A descriptive and comprehensive account of English syntax and grammar
Tackling the role of syntactic constructions in text, this companion brings
out the connections between syntactic structures and semantics/pragmatics and
the function of different clausal structures in written and spoken texts. It
also draws attention to variation in standard written English, to the
grammatical structures and discourse devices in spoken English, and to ongoing
changes in English grammar. It focuses on the concepts of descriptive grammar
as extended and refined over the last fifty years.

Features 
-Encyclopedic format gives immediate access the most relevant topic
-Cross-referencing allows students to follow a thread and explore the
interrelationships between syntactic structures
-Innovative structure of the volume enables lecturers to decide the order in
which they wish to discuss topics and to prescribe reading

This is a practical yet flexible reference that you can return to again and
again, whether it be for learning, research or teaching.
