Review:

'As a crystal-clear, well-illustrated exposition of all the linguistic nuts and bolts one would want a beginner English Language student to know, this is unsurpassed.' - Jonathan Culpeper, Lancaster University, UK

'A most effective second edition of a very well-written and invaluable book.' - Cristiano Broccias, University of Genoa, Italy

'An impressive work, which deals with fairly dense subject matter in a deft and decisive manner. There's a great deal for the novice to chew upon and plenty for those with more experience to digest'. - Ian McMechan, Ermysted's Grammar School, UK
