Introducing English Grammar introduces readers to the methodology and terminology needed to analyse English sentences. The approach taken is in line with current research in grammar, a particular advantage for students who may go on to study syntax in more depth. All the examples and exercises use real language taken from both standard and non-standard geographical areas and dialects, and include excerpts from Australian and British newspaper articles. Students are encouraged to think about the terminology as a tool kit for studying language and to test what can and cannot be described using these tools.

This new edition has been fully updated and features:

- A revised layout and clearer structure including new embedded questions within chapters to help students better engage with the material

- New simpler examples to provide a better progression to the more complex examples and concepts

- Updates to reflect more recent developments, for instance further reading; E-speak examples; other/new English examples; more up-to-date break-out boxes

- Updated online support material with extensive further reading and answers to the exercises

Written for readers with no previous experience of grammatical analysis, Introducing English Grammar is suited to anyone beginning a study of linguistics, English language or speech pathology, as well as to students whose interests are primarily literary but who need a better understanding of the structure of English.
