Product Description

Review
'The Butt and Benjamin New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish is an essential reference tool for all interested in the Spanish language. The most extensive and accurate single-volume comprehensive source of information on contemporary Spanish language currently in existence in the English language, it replaces and surpasses the Ramsey-Spaulding Textbook of Modern Spanish.'
George DeMello, Professor of Hispanic Linguistics, University of Iowa

'The most important event to occur in the descriptive linguistics of Spanish for many years'
The Times Higher Education Supplement

Product Description
A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish is widely recognised as the standard English-language reference grammar of Spanish. It provides teachers and students of Spanish with a comprehensive, accessible and jargon-free guide to the forms and structures of the Spanish currently used in Spain and Latin America.

This new edition has been carefully revised and updated, and its explanations have been checked against the findings of the Royal Spanish Academy's Gramática descriptiva de la lengua española and other new works in the field. Many new Peninsular and Latin American examples have been included, the English text has been thoroughly revised and in many places expanded or clarified. A glossary of grammatical terms has also been included. As a result this new version of 'B & B' should now be invaluable to an even wider readership ranging from intermediate to advanced students of Spanish.

A Workbook is available for use with A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish, 4th edition;
Practising Spanish Grammar by Christopher J Pountain and Teresa de Carlos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spanish Grammar Bible, 19 Aug 2003
I was fortunate enough to be taught by John Butt at King's College London and he was one of the most inspirational tutors I've ever had. He made me understand how exciting languages are. I used this book as my Bible throughout University and beyond. I am now training to be a Spanish teacher myself and will recommend it to all future students. As has been said in previous reviews, it may be daunting for beginners, but for intermediate and above, it explains just as clearly the basic ideas as the complexities of the Spanish language. Things you never thought you'd grasp will come easy to you after reading this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive but not for beginners, 26 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This book is incredibly detailed and thorough! However, because of this, it is not recommended for beginners who find out dishearteningly, that there are numerous exceptions to every rule. It's a great book but I'd recommend starting out with something a little simpler and progressing at the intermediate stage to this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best Spanish grammer book ever, 20 Nov 1999
By morrow@jet.es (madrid spain) - See all my reviews
Perhaps this book is a bit too detailed for beginners in Spanish, it covers a lot of ground in a lot of detail. But for the serious student of Spanish Grammar this is the best book ever. At first reading it can seem a little daunting but if its answers you're after this is the book for you. I have a house full of Spanish language aids but I might as well throw them all away, this book is all I need. If you want to crack the problems of Spanish grammar buy this book - but be warned it does require a bit of effort. A classic of its genre.
