Grammar and Meaning: A Semantic Approach to English Grammar

By Howard Jackson

No Customer Reviews

Grammar and Meaning is an introduction to the study of grammar of contemporary English. It provides an impressive survey of all the main areas of English grammar, and introduces and explains the linguistic terms needed to illustrate the ways in which language works. Unlike many studies of grammar that are available, this text adopts an innovative approach to the study of English grammar, examining the 'meanings' people want to express when using language. These notions are closer to our ordinary understanding of what language is doing, and therefore the forms and structures of grammar are more easily grasped.
