Moves the analysis of grammar and language structure onto the next stage – interpreting it from a semantic and pragmatic point of view. Clearly shows how grammar works in different literary contexts – literary, non-literary, spoken and written. Explores a wide range of linguistic themes, including sociolinguistics, language acquisition and register. Provides guidance on how people can put their knowledge of grammar into daily practice and how this is interpreted by others. Organised in the same way as Rediscover Grammar for quick reference. Unique, lively writing and clear explanations from the world-class grammar expert.
