Synopsis
English grammar is a complex minefield. This reference comes to the aid of both the general reader and the student or teacher, offering immediate, alphabetical access to 1000 grammatical terms and their meanings. All currently accepted grammatical terms used are included, as well as older, traditional names, many controversial new coinages, and items from the study of other languages, or the wider subject of linguistics, including phonetics and transformational grammar. The definitions are accompanied by detailed explanations including examples of language in use, and frequent quotations from existing works on grammar.
