Abstract:

In Navigating English Grammar, Anne Lobeck and Kristin Denham offer an
engaging introduction to the linguistic study of the structure of
English. Teaching basic grammatical analysis through inquiry rather
than memorization, this popular textbook encourages students to use
their intuitive knowledge of language to make their own discoveries
about the grammatical categories add principles of the grammar of
English.

The book strikes a balance between basic descriptive grammar and
syntactic theory, introducing students not only to the structure of
English, but also in some cases to why English has the structure it
does. Along the way, students discover how English has changed over
time, and how it varies from speech community to speech community.
Student-friendly chapters contain numerous examples drawn from
different varieties of American English, which illustrate how English
grammar is a dynamic system: perceptions of one variety as ‘better’ or
‘more correct’ than another, and notions of ‘standard’ and
‘non-standard’ English are socially constructed rather than based on
linguistic fact.

This edition is fully updated with new examples, new text excerpts
from a diverse range of written genres and authors, and completely
revised chapters and exercises. The book also includes an entirely new
final capstone chapter designed to encourage students to apply what
they have learned with more challenging practice exercises.

Navigating English Grammar: A Guide to Analyzing Real Language, Second
Edition is an excellent textbook for undergraduate courses in English
grammar, English linguistics, and language education.
