A Grammar of Contemporary English is the fullest and most comprehensive synchronic description of English grammar ever written. Thorough, detailed, and incisive, it embodies the results of the most recent research into present-day English syntax. The book concentrates on the standard English used by educated people in all English-speaking countries, with careful attention to the features distinguishing spoken and written, formal and colloquial, American and British usage. Jointly based on the accumulated grammatical tradition and on the authors' own researches in contemporary English, the book clearly reflects also the investigations and interpretations made by linguists throughout the world over the last twenty years. A Grammar of Contemporary English consists of fourteen chapters, three appendices, full bibliographical guides to recent and current research, and a detailed index. The work benefits from the wide experience acquired by the four authors in teaching English at university level in Britain, the United States and Europe. It constitutes a standard reference grammar of English, essential for all concerned with the study of the language.
