This new edition of Downing and Locke’s provides the linguistic basis for courses and projects on translation, contrastive linguistics, stylistics, reading and discourse studies. It is accessible and reader-friendly throughout.
Key features include:
• Chapters divided into modules of class-length materials
• Each new concept clearly explained and highlighted
• Authentic texts from a wide range of sources, both spoken and written, to illustrate grammatical usage
• Clear chapter and module summaries enabling efficient class preparation and student revision
• Exercises and topics for individual study
• Answer key for analytical exercises
This up-to-date, descriptive grammar is a complete course for first degree and post¬graduate students of English, and is particularly suitable for those whose native language is not English.
The result is that the grammar is attractively illustrated by authentic text samples from many registers of English, ranging from very informal conversation through to more formal productions.
This new version of the Downing and Locke grammar will serve not only as a course book for new generations of advanced students of English, but also as a reference source for students, teachers and researchers looking for a detailed treatment of English grammar which integrates structural, functional and cognitive perspectives into a coherent and satisfying whole.
