Mccarthy Michael - English Grammar: The Basics - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: English Grammar: The Basics offers a clear non - jargonistic introduction to English grammar and its place in society. Rather than taking a prescriptive approach this book helps the reader become aware of the social implications of choices they make to use standard or non - standard (regional/dialect) forms. Readers will consider: what grammar is and how it fits into the structure of language; how grammar functions in the school curriculum the press broadcasting and social media as well as how these outlets reflect and reinforce our attitudes towards grammar; differences between speech and writing as well as between formality and informality; major different approaches to theorising and describing grammar from important grammarians including Noam Chomsky and Michael Halliday. Featuring a glossary of key terms and practical tips and insights from the author's 50+ years of language teaching experience around the world this book is for anyone who has ever found themselves questioning the rules of the English language.
