The Oxford Dictionary of English Grammar is a straightforward and
accessible A-Z guide of the diverse and often complex terminology of
English grammar. It contains over 1,600 entries with clear and concise
definitions, enhanced by numerous sample sentences, as well as relevant
quotations from the scholarly literature of the field.
This second edition is written and edited by Professor Bas Aarts of
University College London, writer of the acclaimed Oxford Modern
English Grammar. It has been fully revised and updated, with particular
attention paid to refreshing the sample sentences included within the
text. There are over 150 new entries that cover current terminology
which has arisen since the publication of the first edition, and there
are new entries on the most important English grammars published since
the start of the 20th century. Hundreds of new cross-references enhance
the user-friendly nature of the text, and the list of works cited has
been thoroughly updated to reflect the current state of the field. A
short appendix of web links has been added.
