Description

English Grammar: The Basics offers a clear and non-jargonistic introduction to English grammar and its place in society. This book helps readers become aware of the social implications of their choices regarding standard and non-standard forms, encouraging them to consider how grammar functions in various contexts. The author explores key concepts such as the structure of language, differences between speech and writing, and major approaches to theorising and describing grammar. With over 50 years of language teaching experience, Michael McCarthy provides practical tips and insights from his extensive work around the world. Featuring a glossary of key terms, this book is ideal for anyone who has ever questioned the 'rules' of the English language.
