Modern Welsh: A Comprehensive Grammar is the ideal reference source
for all speakers and learners of Welsh. Focusing on contemporary spoken
Welsh, it presents the complexities of the language in a concise and
readable form. Common grammatical patterns and parts of speech are
discussed in detail and without jargon and extensive cross references
make the book comprehensive and easy to use.
Now in its third edition, the Grammar has been thoroughly revised and
updated throughout. Changes include an increased number of illustrative
examples, additional appendices for easy reference, inclusion of IPA
phonetic symbols, and expanded sections on further reading.
Features include:
- Full use of authentic examples
- Particular attention to areas of confusion and difficulty
- Extensive index and cross referencing
- Initial consonant mutations marked throughout
- Separate sections on communicative functions
- Notes on variation between dialects and on formal written language
Modern Welsh: A Comprehensive Grammar is the most thorough, detailed and
user-friendly Welsh grammar available in English today. It is suitable
for use in schools, colleges, universities and adult classes at all
levels and will, as its predecessors, prove an invaluable aid for Welsh
language learning and teaching.
