Abstract:

With more than 50 years of teaching experience between them, Ilse
Depraetere and Chad Langford present a grammar pitched precisely at
advanced learners of English who need to understand how the English
language really works without getting stalled in the complex
specifics.
This textbook pulls all of the relevant ideas from linguistic theory
to support the language student to fully understand English grammar.
After introducing form and function, the authors cover verbs, nouns,
aspect and tense, modality and discourse. Readers are led through the
underlying principles of language use, with the book presupposing only
a basic grasp of linguistic terminology and focusing on the critical
issues.
This new edition includes updated examples from the press to represent
a wider breadth of English language publications, including examples
not only from The Guardian and the New York Times, but also from
Indian and African publications. The new system to cross-reference all
exercises with the core text in each chapter with discreet marginal
notes makes the link between theory and practice more explicit. This
edition also includes a new appendix of important phrasal verbs at an
advanced level.
Full of challenging exercises and supported by a companion website
featuring an extensive answer key, a glossary and further exercises
for study, this is the reference grammar of choice for both native and
non-native English speakers.
