Sinossi

A basic understanding of how English works is essential for all those who write or speak the language, but many people are bewildered by the technical terms employed in formal grammar. Fortunately, the Cassell Dictionary of English Grammar is on hand to help. Clearly and concisely, it guides the reader through over 1000 key concepts, ranging from such fundamental terms as noun, adjective and verb to more sophisticated points of grammar, such as adverbial clauses and hanging participles. Modern grammatical concepts and theories are discussed as well, and there is also coverage of related fields, including more general language terms (alliteration, hyperbole, periphrasis, tautology) and the terminology of linguistics. Definitions throughout are straightforward and easy to follow, and they are supplemented by carefully chosen examples that not only demonstrate grammatical and linguistic principles at work, but also show how common errors arise and how they can be avoided.
