"Because of its comprehensiveness and conciseness, this book cannot be ignored by anyone either learning or teaching English."

Product Description
A Communicative Grammar of English employs a communicative rather than structural approach to the learning of English grammar. The new edition has been updated to include more examples, mostly taken from authentic language sources, both written and spoken. Increased emphasis is given to grammar in spoken language providing a better balance between written and spoken English. Explanations are simple and easy to understand, and clear distinctions are made between major and minor points.

If the 2nd Ed. is as Good as the First ...
7 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
G. Leech and J. Svartvik wrote the first edition of this book, released in 1975. I used it as a University text in the late 1980s, and it sits prominent amongst my references in my office. Though the book is designed for advanced ESL students (at the University level), I am a native speaker of the language, and find the approach taken unique, but of greater value than many other style manuals. I refer to it before going to the Chicago Manual of Style or the MLA Style Manual.
The authors look at the USES of grammar rather than the STRUCTURE of grammar. This is very useful for writers (like myself), teachers of ESL, advanced students of ESL, or those who need to learn how to communicate better (Engineers).

A supeb book
19 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
I bought a book, a communicative grammar of english for my wife from amazon. in fact, I have not regretted I did this. The book came in good time and is working wonders for my wife in her English literature course. This book is cute, very attractive, and written such that it can easily be read and contents understood. My wife is using the book in Ghana and she is a champion in class.
