This groundbreaking undergraduate textbook on mode Standard
English grammar is the first to be based on the revolutionary
advances of the authors' previous work, The Cambridge Grammar of
the English Language (2002). The text is intended for students in
colleges or universities who have little or no previous background
in grammar, and presupposes no linguistics. It contains exercises,
and will provide a basis for introductions to grammar and courses
on the structure of English, not only in linguistics departments
but also in English language and literature departments and schools
of education.
